I am Dioca Tahului and I stay now in the shadow of a plum tree ...
Stay here, my dear mother in-law!

Here is rest. My name is Stan Ion of Mihaies where I have been a police man. And after that I went to Brasov where I was a good policeman. And now I solute you because you will never see me again. I left life with 58 years in 1952.
