Born in 1931 in Washington DC. (USA), now living in Bremen (Germany), I have been using the amenities of Wikipedia passively for many years.
On June 12th, 2008, I became active in the German version of wikipedia as de:Benutzer:Johann31. In October 2013, I started doing translations for the English version: pilot project with Bremer Tourismuszentrale.

And now the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friend I'll say it clear I'll state my case of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I traveled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way. Regrets I've had a few |
But then again too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way. Yes there were times I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew |
But through it all when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill, my share of losing And now as tears subside I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that |
And may I say not in a shy way Oh no, oh no, not me, I did it my way. For what is a man what has he got If not himself then he has not To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows And did it my way. Yes it was my way. |
