Welcome home to Joyce Oeller and her friend
Marilyn, both of the Harveys Lake Area who
returned from a three-week vacation in Aca-
pulco, Mexico.
The ladies have many experiences to talk
= 7 about, the one I heard the
most about was the day
they rented a jeep to tour
L| and ended up in a serious
. accident. Marilyn had prob-
lems breathing as a result
of the trauma and had to be
taken to a hospital there.
Joyce refused to go -to a
= 8.1 hospital there but was
JEAN HILLARD admitted here upon her
return for several days, is now now home
recuperating with lots of bed rest required.
Joyce received the more serious injuries with
lacerations nearly covering her entire body and
those not lacerated are all black and blue. 31 X-
rays later she is hurting, sore, but healing. Get
well sooon, and no more trips Joyce.
Last year these same two ladies went to Spain
for three weeks and Joyce was caught in an
undertow while swimming and nearly drowned,
she was hospitalized in Spain then, looks to me
like they better vacation in the states next year.

Florence Woolbert of Shavertown and Fran
Dierolf of Applewoor Manor, Dallas, recently
returned from an unf:._getable trip to Germany.
The ladies spent two weeks at the home of
Fran’s son, Bill Dierolf III and Pam, his wife,
who live in Besigheim, Germany. Bill is sta-
tioned in Stuttgart, where he’s in the U.S. Army.
Bill had two weeks off on a leave so he and his
wife gave his mother and Mrs. Woolbert two
weeks of unforgettable one-day tours. They got
to go on an Army tour the service makes
available to the men on a boat trip down the
Rhine River. Castles could be seen all along the
cruise and some you could tour others were
private but their beauty was truly fascinating.
They visited Ludwigsburg and Ulm which has
the highest church steeple in the world. The
ladies walked all 768 steps and saw 13 church
bells in the 600 year old beautiful building which
has gone through wars but still boasts over 600
years of continuous worship services.
This unique piece of art was built by parishio-
ners with no outside finances. Their pride keeps
it going 600 years later.
Mrs. Woolbert’s mother was born in Germany
in 1880 so she had lots of special interest in
several areas. They saw a tower still standing
with the date 1011 inscribed on it. Interesting
also was the Mercedes plant where parking lots
were filled with cars, all ordered, not one car
can be bought off the lot. Waiting list only and no
choice of color.
They visited Heidelburg and Zurich, Switzer-
land. In Heidelburg they visited the old castles
and took the famous Funicular railway ride to
the top of it to see the castle ruins. On the way to
Switzerland they stopped at Rheinfall. That’s the
largest waterfall in Europe and to give you an
example of its size its comparable in volume to
our Niagara Falls. :
To see this you must walk up a mountainside
of stone curved steps. It’s a very beautiful sight
relates Mrs. Woolbert. The mountains in Stutt-
gart are all vineyards, ‘‘so perfect they look like
rows of dominos standing.”
The ladies also enjoyed a Beerfest with a 14-
piece band. The report is “it’s really all you've
heard it was”. Outside it’s like a carnival, inside
it’s all kinds of music, fun and laughter.
One last question I had, how do you describe
Germany. Her reply, “It’s so clean, no cigarette
butts, no trash, no dirt anywhere. The roads are
excellent, there is no speed limit yet they have a
relatively low accident rate.”’ Going 75 mph they
were passed like they were sitting still. (Isn’t
that an interesting point when PA is pondering
55 mph?)
The cost of living is much higher in that part
of Germany than in the states. A last interesting
point, when we are among the largest paper
plant, Proctor and Gamble, and use paper like
there’s no end, Germany has a paper shortage.
You never get a paper bag in a store, they don’t
have any. You take your own container or just
carry your own groczaries loosely.

Mrs. Joyce Berrettini, Lake View Terrace,
Harveys Lake, had a very unusual and interest-
ing trip when she took the Expo 86 train trip and
toured for 16 days by train. The trip started
when she left Syracuse, N.Y. via Amtrak to
Toronto, Canada. From Toronto they toured
across Canada to Vancouver where they
attended the Expo 1986, then on to Victoria by
ferry on to Jasper where they visited the
Columbia ice fields, part of a glacier, then on to
Lake Louise, returned to Toronto all by train.
To Mrs. Berrettini, the highlight of the trip
was the Rocky Mountains, Alberta, British
Columbia where they viewed the beautiful prair-
ies. There were herds of mule deer, sheep with
huge curved rounded horns, black bear and all
kind of wild game grazing the lands. Mrs.
Berrettini would highly recommend their trip
“Expo 86’’ to everyone. A trip by train, and so
much to see and remember.

Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Lanning of Harveys Lake
had a two-week vacation planned for Florida, it
didn’t turn out as planned. The day before they
were scheduled to leave Mr. Lanning was cutting
his lawn on his riding wheel horse when it turned
over, throwing him off and injuring his leg. The
doctor did ok the trip if he didn’t drive and kept
his leg up, so off they went. Each day the leg got
worse, by the time they arrived in Florida, it
was considerably worse. So they were advised to
return home, upon arrival he went directly to
General Hospital, was admitted and has
remained a patient there since. Now, two weeks
later and two operations on the leg, he is still a
patient at General. Mr. Lanning has had a
hematoma on the leg removed and also skin
grafting surgery. The pain is lessening, the leg is
heling and hopefully that will all be history soon.
The Lannings drove through the worst of
Hurricane Charley as it was going out to see on
their way to Florida and weathered all the heat
and muggy weatherf only to return without a
vacation. Get well soon Mr. Lanning.

Hugh, Linda and Richard Woodward of
Demunds Road, Dallas, spent a week vacation-
ing in Williamsburg, Virginia, and a couple days
at Virginia Beach. There are lots of changes
happening at the Woodwards lately. Linda has
been employed at Pomeroy’s, downtown Wilkes-
Barre, for the past six years. This Wednesday,
she will begin a new career working with
kindergarten age- children at ‘Wee Care”, in
their brand new day care center in Kingston.
Mountain., The past several days the Woodwards
have been entertaining Linda’s longtime mis-
sionary friend Karen, who is in the states for a
while. :
Starting this week Linda will work no more
evenings, weekends or holidays, what a great
change. Speaking of changes, all this must be
doing her good mentally as well as physically.
She looks great! I bet she has modeling on her:
mind.

Stapinskis pharmacist, Gene Kemmerer, wife
Cathy, and their three children enjoyed a week
vacationing on a Lagoon north of Atlantic City.
They also chose Hurricane Charley week to
vacation, although it didn’t cause them arpy
problems, as they watched the water coming up
near the house they were staying in, they packed
up and left, only to be safe.
One week and 1,000 miles later they returried
to their home in Shavertown. A day at the
Fl tadelphia Zoo, a visit to a wildlife preserve,
visiting some of Gene’s college days friends,
were just some of the interesting events in tlaeir
week’s vacation. i
