Dear Gerlinda,

Thanks for your letters.  I know that we are probably in the 'minority' here, but no matter.  Just like you, the year 2005 was my eye opener too.

My dad was born in Germany, my mom was of Irish extraction.  I was born here in the good ol' USA.

I totally connect with *everything* you said.

God bless you.

YsiChrist,

Patty RP
