Austria
The famed victims in Austria's Fritzl family have surprised the officers who protected them from paparazzi and public scrutiny in the first few months following their rescue. Apparently unannounced, Elizabeth Fritzl and all six of her children arrived at the police station last week with a gift basket, complete with bottles of wine and hand-made posters and thank-you cards from the children. One of the cards said "During the initial, most difficult period you gave us a lot of strength and security. We will always fondly remember you and hope that our contact won't stop."
The chief of the police station, Karl Gschoepf, called the visit "[a] really nice gesture," continuing, "we were touched."
Faithful Goose readers know that I can never resist publishing good news about the Fritzls, however trivial, considering their past. This latest bit makes me especially happy, because I imagine that they've cleared a certain hurdle in their healing process to be able to give thanks to those who have helped them so far.

For the Fritzls, Another Step Towards Normalcy
Vienna, Austria
Faithful Goose readers know that I can't resist giving positive updates, no matter how trivial, regarding the famous Fritzl family. In keeping with this tradition, I'm happy to report that the Fritzls have been watching the Euro 2008 soccer tournament on TV together from their condo on clinic grounds in Vienna. Until recently, their doctors and therapists enforced a strict television ban on the family, for fear that they might see disturbing news stories featuring themselves. However, in the spirit of sportsmanship and family bonding, the ban has been lifted for this special soccer event, hosted in part by Austria. As one source from the hospital explained, “It will take a lot of adjustment but football is something everyone can share and take part in together.” I think anyone who's attended a Superbowl party can understand that.
