Hello Hessians, hello Hazel; I do agree wholeheartedly with Hazel Foster, that Hessian reunions should be announced over this list to inform other Hessian descendants of the event. We all look forward to meet our cousins and exchange our family connections. And if there is still a grave of the Hessian ancestor, perhaps collect a bit of money to order a 'Hessian Plaque' for him. And don't forget the 'Hessian Descendant Lapel Pins' from Bob Fetters, he just ordered a new batch from the manufacturer. Wishing you all a very nice "Fourth of July" celebration. Be proud of your Heritage, Yours John H.
