LAST WEEK we heard from our member DON ANDERSON, who told us about his walking tour of East Germany in 1987. This was before the fall of the Berlin Wall. He said he did not take any pictures himself as he did not want to create trouble. However, he did find pictures of the same area he walked, so the pictures were very relevant. Don Spent two weeks in Germany. One odd thing was he could not just enter East Germany. He had to fly in on Pan Am from Frankfurt!


It was our pleasure to welcome back NATE EDWARDS who spoke to us last week. Nate is the leader of Richfield Special Olympics coming up in March. Our club was able to donate $500. to defray costs of this great program.
