France and Germany visiting with
family and friends.
A resident of the U. S. for the past
32 years, it was her fourth trip to
Germany. She arrived in Frankfurt
on July 1 and spent several days
with her son, John, and his wife,
Carol, and a friend. Rose Smith, in
Ramstein, Germany.
Later she traveled to Metz,
France to visit with other family
members and then returned to
Germany. While abroad she toured
the French and German flower
gardens, took a boat ride on the
Rhine River, and cruised along the

Rug Mill; Madeline Norman,
secretary to division vice president
and general manager. Bedspread
Greige Mill; and her sister, Blanche
Norman, a retired elementary
school principal, spent two weeks
touring Scan^navia in July.
While viewing some of the
approximately 1,100 pictures of their
trip recently, they recalled the
elegance and magnificence of the
royal palaces and old fortresses,
the shopping sprees in the
marketplaces, the beauty of the
fjords, waterfalls and mirror lakes
and the awesome architecture in
Norway, Sweden, Finland and
Denmark.
One of the favorite places of the
four was Tivoli Gardens in
Copenhagen. “R was truly like a
fairyland,” Madeline Norman said.
“You could spend a day here and not
tire of the beauty. And the lighting
effects at night were simply
beautiful.”
Not only did the visitors see the
native countryside, they tasted
native and other foreign foods. “We
ate at Kalian, Greek, Finnish,
Chinese and other foreign
restaurants,” Norman said. “We
even tried reindeer meat.”
Now that’s something to
remember!
