Burkhard "Börks" BogenschneiderVorgestern (Samstag, 22.09.07) kam die traurige Nachricht, dass unser Freund und Mitarbeiter Burkhard Börks Bogenschneider im Alter von nur 63 Jahren bereits am Mittwoch, 12.09.07 in seiner Heimatstadt Lübeck verstorben ist! Yesterday, Saturday, September 22, 2007, came the sad news that our friend and employee Burkhard Börks Bogenschneider died at the age of only 63 years on Wednesday, September 22, 2007, in his home town of Lübeck.
Bürks was a post-war war refugee child, who came with his mother and two
younger siblings to Lübeck, where the family established itself. Very early in
his life he took an interest in music, with a special interest in the emerging
Rock n' Roll movement. His interests progressed over the years to Rock a Billy
and also to country music. He also had a keen interest in football. He traveled
at the early age of 16 to distant places as a ship's cabin boy. Over the years,
he worked as a sailor, mostly on cargo ships, but once even on the cruise ship
Stella Maris. When he returned to land, he remained interested in ships and
lighthouses. He had a web site showing these interests. As a former DJ, he was a
freelancer for radio and TV, and he also worked as a columnist, author and
co-author of various articles in magazines and journals, as well as specialty
books. For over thirty years, he was the chairman of the "Memory Hits Fanclub (MFC)"
radio broadcast of the DLF with Gerd Alzen, with whom he was also a friend, and
about whom he had also written a noteworthy article for us in Country-Home
(http://www.iwde.de/bios/walter_der_country_fuchs.htm . Börks knew about his disease (pancreatic cancer), and how bad it was for him. On August 16, 2007, he shared the information about what was happening to him with all his friends and the members of the MFC. I spoke with twice on the phone and talked personally with him.
