2003 Diaries
In 2003, we started out still in Frankfurt, hoping for a
good long stay. For travel, up through Spring we settled for weekend trips,
mostly to France and to other parts
of Germany. In the summer, we had a nice long Road Trip through Switzerland
and the Tuscany region of Italy. It was wonderful, but we both had to return
to our regular jobs. We came back and John waited for a decision on the project
that could have kept us here for years. In late October, we learned our product
had lost but one from another part of the company had won. What does that mean?
Stay tuned.
