If any of the members of this list live in the Southern Wisconsin, north Western Illinois, or North Eastern Iowa, you might be able to listen to my radio program about history. I am on every Saturday morning, 8: 8:30 on 100.3 FM Maybe one day soon I can do a program about our Prussian/Polish roots. eh, by golly Bill Hoeft
