Welcome to our February
edition! We'll use it to wrap up 1998; that roll in the camera was
finally finished! First came Thanksgiving.
Ha-Yo went shopping with
me to prepare.
She then set about cooking up a
turkey to perfection. It was the best Thanksgiving meal I had had in
years. Ha-Yo really outdid herself with this uniquely American
dish.
Then, on the home
front, our apartment complex lodge got into the Christmas
spirit.
We then got an invitation to
spend Christmas Day with the young ladies who used to babysit Armin
when he was one year old and they were eleven and twelve.
Of course, since Armin
is now 15,
the Bonavita sisters are correspondingly older!
Our latest family portrait!
Armin himself renewed a friendship with a young lady he hadn't seen
in many years!
.. 
Armin and Gina in 1985
and 1998!
We had great Christmas Day in
Boston with the Bonavitas and thank them for their enduring
friendship!
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY!
to my special friends who were
born in this month! George Lewis Keidel, Jr. in Maryland, Eudene
Keidel in Indiana and Laura Reed in Michigan.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY greetings go to the lovely Barbie
Reittenbach and her husband Patrick, also in Michigan!
On a somber note, let me speak to a very good cyber friend from
Prodigy's German Bulletin Board, of which I am the Special
Contributor.
Carla von Keltner, a very dear and regal lady, lies
gravely ill.
I salute you! ---mdG, Ernst
