Month: October 2012

I had a good time last night (Sept. 27) signing books at the Liederabend & Tanz (evening of German song and dance) at the German Cultural Society’s Hall, 3653 S. Jefferson Ave. I’m going to be there again Dec. 1 and 6.

Had a great time signing books and talking about things German at the Soulard Oktoberfest. Two sisters from Los Angeles on a trip here to do family research said they’d gone online and decided to buy my book when they were here. They ran into me and bought the book. Others said they’d seen me on TV or read about me in the paper. I’ll be there Sunday from 1 to closing time at 5 at my booth on Third Street just north of Lafayette.

I got up really this morning so I could appear on Kelly Jackson’s program at 6:40 a.m. on KSDK. It was a blast.
