In case you’re not into Roman numerals, Today’s blog title is a date — 9-21-1933. That’s the date our friend Anne was born. That makes her 89 years old today.
Anne was born in 1933 in Germany — the same year Hitler came to power and turned Germany into a dictatorship.
She survived the war and made it to the United States… worked as a maid, made a lot of German (and American) friends and met and married Winfried.
She’s had a fascinating life and has been one of our best friends since we moved to Shepherdstown. For many years, we’ve always celebrated her birthday with her — usually along with some of her many friends — and the tradition continues….
This is the last year she’ll be able to tell her friends she’s still in her eighties. So Happy Birthday to Anne — I proclaim this official Rusty Nail Day in her honor.
