Hello John, Thank you for the Old Ship Pictures URL. Quite intersting. Yes, it was a great Mt. Angel get-together, thanks to everyone's participation! Sorry you have missed it. Did you follow the speaker's on-line? http://www.banatbooks.com/Treffen.htm Hope to see you there next year, Rosina Hello Rosina: I missed the Mount Angel celebration by just a few days this year. I was there about three days after the festivities had ended. From what I gather, all had a very wonderful and enlightening time again this year. I think I may have mentioned to you at one time, that while searching the Internet some years ago in German web sites, the festival in Mount Angel was rated by the Germans as one of the top three Oktoberfest celebrations in the United States. Here is a web site that you may find useful at times. John. ++++OLD SHIP PICTURE GALLERY
