Dear Diane and Fred Vickerson:

How many old 'Vickerson' headstones can be found on
Prince Edward Island? Not one to honour your ancestor?
Not one to remember him, the first one of your tribe to
settle on that beautiful island, the smallest Province of
Canada. The cradle of our Confederation. Nothing there
to remember those harde first settlers, the Hessians?
Perhaps that could be a project for next summer?
Ask Lothar Zimmermann, the German professor at
Charlottetown University, for help and assistance.
Let's do something!
Yours
John Helmut Merz,
a proud Canadian and a proud Hessian.
