Robert was born in 1944, just at the end of the Second World War. Nursing Beauregard his father had been conscripted into the Wehrmacht. He came to his classes in Germany and just before leaving on the Russian front he had deserted. His wife was summoned to the gendarmerie and Feld-she managed to convince them that he had gone with her suitcase and she had not seen. The town where he had to report had been bombed and the thesis of his death made sense. In fact, with two other classmates, his father was hiding in the village Adelange of his father, sometimes in the tower sometimes elsewhere. They were fed by the village. When the Americans liberated the region, Adelange came under bombardment and that rabbit in a cage down in the cellar that Robert had taken refuge.
At the time there were three nurses at Beauregard and Robert's father was an official residence. Robert and his two sisters were "children's hospital" to play around in the middle of the ambulances that arrived: Robert dreamed doctor. At ten he entered the minor seminary Cuvry, he has an uncle priest and was perhaps chosen to be the church family. But Robert does not support the pullout in the family and his parents, a school or factory.
chooses Robert Plant and fourteen years he became a young worker Lorraine Escaut. At seventeen he is founder and he sometimes works 56 hours per week. Robert will never get used to the three / eight: seven days to work in the morning and then seven days in the afternoon and night seven days. Home, work, home, work. In winter you can not see the day: start before sunrise we returned it was already dark. The old man say "bar up there."
Robert Rina met his future wife. Difficult to obtain public housing when you are not married: he finds a studio floor Oceania and twenty three years, Robert married. His stepfather works in Sollac and he heard about a job that becomes available. A twenty five Sollac Robert joined to become a bridge operator is a little less physical. He remained there until his retirement. Robert will experience the decline of the steel industry in the region of Thionville mills spend from three to one and the workers from 1700 to 500.
Robert militates CFDT since he was eighteen years and he will take part in all major protest movements of the seventies. What a job! Delegate work, strikes, demonstrations to be organized. Robert is not often at home and when he has time, he takes the kids hiking in the surrounding neighborhood. Robert took his books and taught them the names of the trees on the road. Even today, some of these children will remember with pleasure these parts of the countryside Cross Epich at Fort Guentrange with sandwich from the bag.

We went for milk at the farm Schweitzer, where Norma is a supermarket today. Work smelter has left its traces. Robert, who suffers from emphysema early knew he had lump in the asbestos all those who worked in the hot summers were exposed to asbestos.
