Hello Listers,

If you are interested in seeing some photos of the Cleveland trip, just go to:

where I've put together a small photo show.

It was a wonderful time. Finally got to come face to face with people whom I only knew through the DVHH site and through our messages . . . Jody was just as charming in person and just as organized and efficient! It was great fun to spend time with Beth Tolfree, Eve Brown, Henry Fischer and his wife Jean, Hans K, Gary B, the Martinis from NJ, Dennis Bauer, and others. It was super to meet the authors of books I've read--Henry F, Katherine Flotz, and Elizabeth Walter. You'll see them all on the photos.

I was so impressed with the organization of the event and enjoyed the dancing and the gemütlichkeit! The good beer, tasty wursts, and the happy prosit shouts. But, most of all, I was impressed with the involvement of the young people. They did their dances so perfectly and were so incredibly friendly and polite--if that is the future of the Donauschwaben, we are lucky.

Even got to shake hands with Congressman Dennis Kucinich :)

Seriously consider going to the next gathering . . . you won't be sorry.

Rose Mary
