I went through the guest book and was very surprised how many people posted wonderful memories regarding the Triangle. Although Henry later on was divorced from Caroline and returned to Germany in the 60s, I still remember him talking so proud about his time at the Triangle Hofbrau which was his life.
I also found a touching story here from William H. Poole who did a posting in the guest book in http: I offered my help but unfortunately his email address was not valid any more William if you read this just email me. I am asking myself why I am posting these lines. Maybe there is still somebody out there who remembers Henry Frohnwieser, the bartender from the Hofbrau, or who remembers Caroline, Mary Ann, and Lynn Four, his former wife and daughters. If I come to New York again I will visit the area I know the Hofbrau was sold and probably nothing remembers the old times.
This web site is really wonderful. If you have memories regarding the Triangle, Henry or his family please drop me some lines. Helmut from Munich, Germany. Webb, in exchange for one half the proceeds from the sale of burial lots.
