"His Forefathers & Mick 3rd Edition", still traces the incredible saga of the Kramer Family accross three generations and four continents. Starting with the already accomplished architect, Joseph Friedrich (Fritz) Kramer, his employer approached him saying, "Fritz, you have already proven yourself in the field of architecture. I now want you to return to study at the Cologne University, where you are to study engineering in the disiplines of mechanical and construction engineering. The reason for this is that what I have in mind for you is that you shall be in charge of building the Shandong Province Railway in China. As part of that, you will be directly responsible to me for the calculation, design, and construction of all steel bridges which are necessary to cross the many rivers, ravines and valleys in Shandong Province. Do not worry about the payment for your new university courses as these shall be paid for by my company, H D Schmidt Consulting Architects, Engineers & Surveyors." The book goes on with previously unknown information about both him and his wife, Anna Ahrens. There are an extra twenty pages devoted to the story of Anna. That includes the time she and her new husband called Franz Spielgelthal spent in the "Displaced Persons Camp" located in the French sector of occupied Germany at Bodensee between 1945 and 1952.
