At the age of 5 my parents moved to Germany and I grew up in Hamburg. Later, I moved around a lot and have finally come to settle here in Rimouski. If you\u2019d asked me 30 years ago where I thought I would settle, it would never have crossed my mind that it would be Rimouski! I had something in mind like a beach in Australia. But life had something different in mind for me. Now, I am in Rimouski and I feel really well here. It\u2019s my home now, and it makes me happy! I don\u2019t know which season I love more: the summer or the winter? The autumn or \u2026 spring? What spring?<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Did you know about poutine before you arrived? Best place to get it if you do know?<\/strong> I had never heard of poutine before, and frankly, I am not such a big fan of it. Fast food in general isn\u2019t my favourite. I love to cook at home, find new recipes&#8230;<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is your favourite place in the Lower Saint Lawrence, and why?<\/strong> My favourite place is the Isle Verte. It\u2019s just magic.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Your favourite pastime?<\/strong> Being alone on my sailing boat far out there at night, one hour before sunrise, with a blinking lighthouse in the far distance, assuring me.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is your idea of perfect happiness?<\/strong> Time, health, love and be loved, a relaxed mind, slow mornings with a perfect coffee, rest without guilt, no financial worries, sleeping well, good friends, meaningful conversations, a view over the river.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What talent would you most like to have?<\/strong> Playing an instrument (well enough)<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is your greatest achievement?<\/strong> Having overcome a serious phobia<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is your motto?<\/strong> The best way to success is do it again<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Biggest regret?<\/strong> Not always having been courageous enough when I was younger. Whenever I was courageous eventually, it turned out to be a success. As compared to others, I have indeed been very courageous and I took quite a number of risks during my life. So, why was I so anxious when I was young? I think, I missed so many great opportunities back then.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/corneilius-Hammer-community-profile-234x300.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Community Profile: Cornelius Hammer Cornelius is a familiar face to those who visit the Rimouski Resource Centre library.
