A 16 new: Photo/postcard size/portrait /black and white/ Portrait, 1950, 'young Luise'
The first time I really left Ausserberg was when I went from Visp to Neuchatel. A job had been arranged for me there through an acquaintance. She said: 'I've got something good for you. The family has a brasserie, we'll go there and present ourselves'. The landlady was about sixty years old and lived in a stately house. At the end she asked me: 'can you cook?' I answered cheekily: 'yes', even though of course I hadn't the first idea about it.
Luise T.-S., born 1928, from Ausserberg in Wallis, Switzerland
