Also, quite a few words in German are the same or similar as words in Norwegian, so that helped some. Just be careful after a meal when you ask for the check. If you use the Norwegian word for the bill, instead of the German one, you might end up with your dry cleaning and not what you owed for the food! A small propeller driven commuter plane through the Alps to Amsterdam for the trip home made the final day "interesting".
Gene and Tordis Kaczmarek spent the Memorial Day weekend in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Tordis's grandson, Eric Dutkiewicz, graduated from high school and the ceremony was held in a very large sports arena called the Coliseum. Tordis's daughter, Denise, and another grandson, Trent, flew in from Plano, Texas, for the occasion. The celebration continued through the weekend. Eric will enroll at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, in the fall and study journalism. We wish him all the best on his future endeavors!
Festival of Cultures
In recent years, the Village of Skokie and the Skokie Park District have hosted an annual Festival of Cultures. Unfortunately, for us, the dates have coincided with the weekend celebration of Syttende Mai. However, this year the Festival was held on May 22nd and 23rd. Lois and Les Amack worked the show this year along
