Hi list, Earlier this evening I visited this family site, checking out the calendar. _http://borisbrooks.com_ (http://borisbrooks.com) The photos and presentation are of professional quality and very very interesting. (even though they are not my relatives!) I don't know him personally, but please visit Jim Rickenbacker's site and enjoy his story of his and his wife Jeanne's recent trip down the Rhine (with photos and maps). When you are done, you will not only know a lot about Basel, Switzerland, and the route many of our ancestors took, you will also know that Jim likes food and drink...like many of the rest of us! Regards from Nellie, a 68-yr-old root digger in Texas, where the ground never freezes ? (it is coooollllldddd here! 16 degrees you betcha!)
