Dear Cousin, My wife Janice and I have spent three weeks this year in Germany and Ireland organising a major event next year for the Irish Palatine Association. We have been working to put together a 9 day vacation in the Pfalz (or German Palatinate), from whence our ancestors came in 1709. We anticipate that over 50 descendants from those pioneers will join us in Germany. Plans for May 2004 are now sufficiently advanced for the IPA to have distributed details. If you are a member, you should receive details through the post in the next few days. The details have also been added to the Association's website, www.irishpalatines.org Please take a look and see if you are tempted! Should you wish to join the Tour, you are advised to book before the end of November. We do urge you to seriously consider joining us - it should be a great vacation.

I would love to have joined you on this trip to the land of my forefathers. However, I am a teacher and unfortunately only have the week including the May Bank Holiday Monday off work, so sadly I will have to miss it. I wish everyone who goes a good time!
