Jonni - I'm having email problems like crazy here today. I sent you an email through the forum earlier. Did you get it? I'm off Friday until Jan. 4th. :) I want to send you David's email address and our cell phone numbers tomorrow if my Outlook gets fixed. I went shopping with Susan today and bought a book called "Fragments from France" for Justin(if you think he'll like it). It's cartoons by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather during WWI. It was published in 1917 and is like an oversized sketch book, each page a single, large cartoon.

Janice--I was having Yahoo problems today, too...must be overload or something. I just responded to you!!! That book sounds amazing...and yes, I know he'll like it especially. How thoughtful of you (but then, when aren't you?) for thinking of him.

Where was that pic taken?.. I , my dear, am a west sider through & through. Grew up going to the best Oktoberfest there is on Kemper Rd(can't even remember the name now, because as far as I am concerned, that is the only one)
Also went to school at Miami, so am very familiar with the Oxford landscape.
I oh so miss the northwest area, at least as it was when I lived there. Festivals, hayrides, Christmas tree farms, bonfires on the Great Miami,ice skating on many neighborhood ponds, sing alongs, & German parties to beat THE BAND~!
Had neighbors named Kalkhoff. they knew how to throw a party.
Man I miss that community.
Miss Vi knows good folk when she meets them.

It was taken at Germania Park (the very same place that holds the Oktoberfest you mention!)...we were last at the Kolping Societ for (wait for it...) an IRISH Wake!!! Justin's Uncle Gabriel married a West Side German and therefore, belonged to the society by default :)
I knew you were a Westsider! And though I've been to the Cheviot Harvest Homecoming Fair and the Panegyri Greek Festival many times, this was by far the best time we've had! We can't wait to go back for their Oktoberfest...in fact, that could be something we could all do together. And, when you move towards Brookville, you'll be right close!
