Hello Hessians;

I am invited to Hanau to meet the Landrat and some
Buergermeisters, and so I am flying on 14.June with
my grandson Pauli to Frankfurt. My good wife Emmi is
in no shape to fly, and I am so sorry to have to go without
her. Right now she is giving Pauli exact instructions how
to look after me, when to take my pills, put my heart patches
on, carry my bags, etc.

Anyway, reason why I write -
Is there anything I can show in Hanau in respect to my
Hessian collection at the S.A.R. Library in Louisville, Ky.
Pictures, webpages, leaflets, anything would be helpful.
I do have the SAR Magazine with the article by Howard F. Horne,
This was a real fine piece, and has had some good responses.
Whatever I can get I would like to leave with the Hanau people,
for their archives and collections.

What I am really hoping for perhaps a picture of a Hessian
descendant (or descendants) in front of the S.A.R. display.
(How about Charles?)

I will have a very hectic time between now and the time
I leave, and over in Germany I'll have a full schedule, hardly
will have time to come up to catch some breath, but with Pauli's
help I hope to be able to manage. After all, my 81 years are
definitely showing.

Thanks in advance for all your help
Btw. notice my new e-mail address - You know I did retire
from the Hessians.
Yours

John Helmut Merz,
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
