Connie Beushausen (Oestereich)
Hello, my friends on the other side of the planet! You can hardly imagine what it meant to me joining the class reunion. I seem to have been floating 12 inches above the ground for three days. I enjoyed your company and all the encounters with those whom I remembered, as well as with those whom got to know there for the first time, so much. I had a great time with you and I am glad I came from Germany!
Thanks to the organizing team (Nancy, Marti, Ann, Mary and Barb and all those who helped with it).
Thanks for the warm hearted welcome which I received from all of you and which warmed my heart too and revitalised so many good memories!
After spending an exciting week in California after the reunion I returned home on Oct. 22 and I am busy since. -But I am already thinking about the next opportunity to come back. And I sure will visit Flushing again and contact as many of you as possible.
I would like to encourage you to visit Germany. I live in the northern part of the country (110 miles south of Hamburg. Northern Germany with it`s coast line and very charming towns is very pretty, but neglected in foreign, especially American, travel guides, presumably because the American military was stationed in Southern Germany. Anyway, come and visit me! I`ll show you around when my schedule allows it.
Take care, Connie the former exchange student
