Dear Dorothy, All of us present at this year's Mt. Angel Treffen were not only delighted that you were able to come all that way from California, but we were also very honoured! Thank you also for bringing that gorgeous kloeppeled table cloth for us to admire. Did you kloeppel it yourself? Here is the URL for David Preston's excellent video presentation of the Treffen: http://www.banatbooks.com/Treffen.htm Hope to see you next year again! Rosina www.hrastovac.net Thanks to all the committee members who worked so hard to make our stay at Mt Angel so enjoyable. The speakers were outstanding, and we learned a lot of history. The streudel was delicious. Thanks to all who offered to help me, and to those that did, it made it very easy for me to get around with my walker. Imagine my surprise when the members sang happy birthday to me as I had just celebrated my 93rd birthday the day before. Thanks for the gift. I met members who I had corresponded with for years, and some were related to my husband. Through them I was brought up to date on some deaths in the family I hadn't heard about even though I was making the family tree on the Wogh and Muelrath families. Hope more members will be able to attend and meet friends and relatives in the years to come. Dorothy Wogh
