She met and married my dad in Stuttgart and I remember later how we would write letters to her family back in Leipzig. We would write letters and she would translate them to German and then we would have to copy them over. I guess our grandparents enjoyed them.Something Happened Somewhere Turninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897631770669843340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-53884369787325348292010-04-27T19:09:48.605-07:002010-04-27T19:09:48.605-07:00You give me a taste for history.
