It brings that whole episode to an end," said Johannes von Trapp, son of the captain. Soldiers stood at attention yesterday as Chaplain Sigfried Lochner of the Theresianum gave the Mass in German to about 300 people, including members of the Trapp family, beside the family gravesite.

The fact that I am here is an appreciation of the difficult destiny of the Trapp family."
