Standard

Newspaper Abstract by: SM THOMPSON    


APP blogged an extraordinary story about an Austrian Businessman who is raffling his house for the tidy sum of 1.6 million
Euro and the reason for the fund raising is that 47 year old Karl Rabeder wants to send his money to My Micro Credit and this is exactly what he is doing.  His house is in the Tyrol and fortunately he has rented a modest flat in Innsbruck and I hope he will be very happy. Thanks to Der Standard for the story ... and also thanks too Der Standard for those wonderful copies of Der Standard all those years ago .. they were helpful in the extreme and got my writing off to a flying start!
   I found the story interesting as several years ago I too wanted to rent a modest flat in Austria in Vienna near family but the deal fell through and I was recently surprised then to see why .. I guess Austria has other plans and want me to move next door to Innsbruck near the Crazy Millionaire and rent a modest flat next to him rather than family .. why not!  Its a great fairytale ending to an ernest family saga .. nice work!
