Oh, dear, how does one get along in a place filled with Streiff!

They're still there, too! About 10 people in the Wilhelm Tell play, including the lead) were named Strieff.

Very interesting photos, Greg, looks like you had an excellent excursion. Loved the shot of you on the tractor.

Thanks for the pics! And the pink flamingos were a nice touch...

Thanks for the pics. I'm a huge fan of local U.S. history and culture. Every bend of highway and byway in this great country reveals fascinating stories. For instance, I happen to know New Galarus is the home of the premier historical sword making company in the world, Albion Armorers.
