[Cz-L] Re: Reunion E-mails, etc.

Hi, everyone,

I read my digest this morning and must agree with
Bruce. While I cannot attend the "Reunion" this year,
it has been most interesting and informative to see
the development of such an event [among strangers or
distant cousins, no less.]

My grandparents did not live in Czernowitz but by
extrapolation I have learned a great deal from reading
all the posts and viewing the different photos and
articles on the web-site. [For those who are curious
- my grandmother was born in Putila ca. 1891, her
mother was born in Wiznitz ca. 1864 and we also had a
lot of family in Dorna Vatra. My grandfather's family
came from the Kolomyya-area i.e. Kosow, JablonÛw.]

I think that most of the reunion details could be
worked out on a subgroup list-serve and that it would
still be very nice for the rest of the group to remain
informed of the goings-on, every so often - perhaps
every other week. You are very lucky that you have a
core group to travel with/work together on all these
aspects - I know that whenever I will have the
opportunity to visit my family towns/villages [or
remains thereof,] I will most probably be traveling
alone.

In closing, I would just like to add that I hope all
the "Reunion" attendees remember to enjoy themselves
and allow a lot of latitude amoung the travel group as
such a trip has many different levels of significance
to the travelers. Consider this a "shiduch" of sorts
- you will need to get to know each other in order to
achieve the best level of success and contentment.
