Looks good!

PS Rieger's first name is spelled "Joerg" :)

Carl said...

Unless of course, that's the "right" right way to spell it, and we just use an english phoneticism :D

Carl, I think Dr. Scholz has it spelled correctly. lolz. She is German after all! ;)) }

It’s like the spelling of one of my favorite theologian’s name, (introduced to me by Dr. Kang, btw), Dorothee Sölle. It is sometimes spelled Soelle, but it appears that the additional vowel is an English supplement.

Yeah, Dr. Scholz filled me in by e-mail. :)
