Sport was also a private passion of the media professional. I once met the passionate cyclist and "go-getter" in central Switzerland with a bright red "head". He was particularly happy skiing on the Hoch-Ybrig, for which he did TV advertising and where he owned a holiday home. the Lucerne journalists' football team.
Dear Kurt, we were both very young journalists china rcs data when we met in Lucerne. As a freelance contributor to various newspapers, including the then "Luzerner Neuesten Nachrichten", my first interview with you appeared in the LNN. Edi Rudolf, at the time LNN sports director and later director of the Swiss Sports Aid, gave it the title "The Mäni of Central Switzerland". With your good looks and above all your gentlemanly manner, you really did resemble our colleague and friend Mäni Weber. Even though we didn't see each other often, our meetings were always as if we had just spent a pleasant evening together. You never sought us journalists out for a story. But you were always happy to join in when we wanted to do one about you. You were always loyal to Swiss television and the SRG. You never tried to correct me or lecture me when, as so often, I wrote critically about your employer. Only those who are as happy as you were can be tolerant.
