Written August 31

Dear Friends and Families,

We have stayed connected with the original family from our house, Joachim Werner and his family. We don't get together ofent but it seems there is always at least one excuse for a bar b que in the summer. This time it was to celebrate Julia's 18th birthday.

While this is a strain on my German language skills, it's fun to see a family doing regular family things. We certainlyu need this in our record of memories.

Our picturess:

John and Marianne
