Kris Kristofferson & Reimer Hinrichs

Kris Kristofferson and Reimer Hinrichs – Meeting Kris Kristofferson –  Ireland, 2005

“We had an accidental meeting with Kris before his concert in 2005 in Killarney, Ireland. We were near the hotel elevator. My wife Karin, just fell in his arms when he (Kris) and Lisa walked out of the lift just as Karin wanted to get into it.” Luckily, “A friend was quick with the camera” – Reimer Hinrichs

This connection shows no sign of weakening. Kris is a regular supporter of Irishchildren’ss’ charities. Ireland loves him, too. His tours there often sellout, & additional dates have to be added.
