Another memorable trip for Wanza Wanza Davis along with her grandchildren, Tommy and Michelle Allred, and 18 other members of the Shelby/Cleveland County Friendship Force recently returned from a "memory filled trip” in Herne, Germany. Upon receiving the announce- ment of a summer home hosting exchange, Wanza, retired school secretary, immediately enrolled her grandchildren and herself. "This was the perfect opportunity to build memories," she said. Their host family was Dr. and Mrs. Klaus Bucker and their two children, Mary Louise and Ann Katrin. Mayor Will Pohlmann wel- comed the North Carolinians to Herne City Hall. Harriette Holton, local exchange director, presented him with gifts from the Cleveland County/ Shelby Friendship Force, Wanza presented a letter and pin from Kings Mountain Mayor Scott Neisler. The letter sent greetings from the citizens of Kings Mountain and an invitation to visit Kings Mountain should he be in the area. During Wanza's conversa- tion with Pohlmann he indicated that he had been to Hilton Head, South Carolina and was looking forward to being in Atlanta in a few years and hoped to visit Kings Mountain. The world's largest coal mining museum in Bochum, Germany was one of the stops on the tour. Wanza said they visited coal mining towns where large coal mines had closed due 10 the lack of coal.

Wanza learned that four very large mines in Germany had closed with great losses. A cruise on The Rhine was ex- citing. One of the members of the group lost her footing stepping on rock and had to be pulled from the Rhine. "We will always remember that part of the trip," said Davis. Dr. Bucker gave Tommy Allred an unforgettable experience. The two made an overnight trip to Nurnberg to attend the "Old Timers Race." Bucker had a friend racing who took them into the areas with the drivers and’ crew.

"The trip from Herne to Numnberg was made with Tommy holding on to the seat. He didn't believe the Porsche's tires ever hit the pavement, a four hour trip made in a 1 1/2 hours," said Wanza. After the home stay, seven of the group visited Berlin, two went to England, and eight took a 10-day motor trip mapped out by Wanza to Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, France, Belgium, and The Netherlands. With Debra Blanton driving the VW mini-bus, they vis- ited many interesting places.

The sites of Paris and the sub- way won't soon be forgotten by the Davis grandchildren. Highways in- to Paris were blocked due to the strike of truck drivers. After being forced to turn around several times, Wanza got her famous map out and took country roads out of Paris and France. The group arrived in Brugge, Belgium in plenty of time to partic- ipate in a festival complete with marching bands, street fairs and wall to wall people. A trip to Eidnhoven, The Netherlands, to visit Bep. V. D. Hurk, a former Friendship Force exchange friend who had visited in the Davis home, was a special time. The years soon rolled away as memories were shared, said Davis. Even though Bep was very ill, she hopes to return to Kings Mountain. Wanza had previously visited the countries in which the group trav- eled but saw many new sites. "The most important thing to me was making new friends in those countries and becoming closer friends of those making the trip," she said. Davis invited her hosts to come to Kings Mountain for an April 1993 visit. "This is what Friendship Force is all about," she said. he L !
