October 3, 1988 is a day that exemplifies my understanding of Bavaria. After class, I played football with friends on the grounds of our school in the Munich area. Then the caretaker trudged past with a bright red face, half raising a white and blue flag. A similar scene at home: My father flew the flag at half-mast and tied a black ribbon to the antenna of his BMW. The Free State mourned the loss of its Prime Minister, who was bid farewell like a king.
