Florida:
Sun is shining, always warm, no winter and snow. When it's raining in Heidelberg and in Rome (Becky will not agree?!), we dream of Ft.Lauderdale and Miami and Florida's beaches.

Roger: Rabbit Hash River Camp on Mai 2002 near Cincinnati

The water is going down slowly so I will be happy if it doesn't come up again. 
A huge barge is passing and the rumble can be heard for miles as coal makes its way down to Louisville and beyond. 
Cincinnati is just up stream and a little further is New Richmond where I was born. 
Greater Cincinnati International airport is about a twenty minute drive from camp and  Cincinnati Bell  company came out and put a phone jack on my power pole which carries my electric down from Lower River Road.  My phone number is 859 689 7948 and my address is 11019 Lower River Road, Rabbit Hash KY 41091

There are many great links to be found in an Internet search for Rabbit Hash, Give it a try on your favorite search engine.  You don't even have to put Kentucky but you can.
You can watch the level of the river with me at Ohio River Stage .  If it gets above 45 feet I must be off, if you know what I mean. There will be more to follow from Rabbit Hash River Camp.

Welcome to River Camp at Rabbit Hash Kentucky USA
In 1986 I had a dream of a Summer camp so cool you would need blankets in August.
That is why I bought five acres of wooded river land in Boone County Kentucky and built a concrete underground cabin near the top of  it's  upper ridge overlooking the Ohio River to Rising Sun, Indiana..
My challenge now is to experience and become part of the nature here and drain all tension and hostility from my life down, down, down stream to the Mississippi and beyond.

Fort Lauderdale at Easter 2001: Family reunion-birthday party

Hi all, for those who were there and some of you who weren't, here is a website with a bunch of pictures from the family reunion-birthday party in Fort Lauderdale at Easter. Please pass on to those whose addresses I missed (I don't have Uncle Bill/Aunt Mary, for example, or Julie, or Mary/Perry) if you think they'd like to see it. Let me know if anything needs an explanation. (The guy named Dave is Pat's friend who lives nearby in Florida--I think everyone else is identified adequately to family members.)
It was great fun and I miss you all already!! Hope you like the pictures!
Love, Joyce
(I don't think it is link--you will probably have to paste it in your browser.)

Gabi and Ulrich Kaier

Audrey and Alton, do you remember Gabi and Ulrich Kaier, when they visited you in Fr.Lauderdale 
in 1975 ?  Audrey and Alton Spitzmiller still lived in their "old" house near by the channel. 
Gabi died too early in 1993 – she was just 45 years old and left her daughters 
Anna and Laura so young.
