Can you think of anything better … than to share with your grand-children – the Orphanage – that you lived in “seventy” years ago… and still standing – and as always – there are children who will need a HOME – – away from HOME…
Did you ever think – – that you would attend a “PICNIC” that was given for all the old “GRADUATES” – – of German St. Vincent Orphan Home… and you meet a girl from your graduating class of 1952??? That was… only 63 years ago… when you – both were young – full of vim and vigor to start a new LIFE – never gave a thought of conquering the world – – but I know that – I have heard that term used in some speeches – – when something is planned – and no one knows who will be there – – what a joy it is – to find that – you are welcomed with friendship and someone who really remembers you – – from way – back and when!
L to R That would be “ME” and standing in the middle is – Theresa Wieland-Eckerl and her husband. The best part of meeting Theresa – – was that she remembered me…so well – that she went into great detail about one of our class assignments …and was so exact – in what I had said – in front of the class – for that special “CLASS” assignment. I just LOVE when someone is really paying attention to what is going on – and then can remember it so correctly – – almost… and as if – – it all just happened…yesterday!
“I hate to… and still have to – say this…” “But those who received the “INVITATION” and did not show up on SUNDAY – the 27th – missed out on a real good time!”
