Re: [Cz-L] How Nussius mother got a new potato crate .

Hardy,

Your stories and reminiscences of your childhood in Czernowitz are
wonderful. I hope you keep a collection.
In English and also in Czernowitzer Deutsch.

I have not given up the idea of publishing a collection of Czernowitz
stories and reminiscences of members of this list. Two years ago, I was not
able to find a publisher, but once the restoration of the cemetery is
completed, hopefully by the end of next summer, I will try again.
If we cannot find a publisher, I will try to find a venture capitalist to
give us the money for self publishing.

I think we should include old photographs as well and if any of you draw
well, please start illustrating Hardy's stories. You can use "Max un Moritz"
as a prototype.
