Oct. 17
Today, Georg and Martha took the car back to the rental shop. They enjoyed their time together walking around town.
In the afternoon, Martha, Georg, Ana Marie, and Paul Stefan went to the workshop of Reinhold Schnabl, a Geigenbaumeister. He took out many violins for us to try, and we found ones that pleased us. However, his cheapest cost 2,500 Euro. Now we know for what to save our money!
We went back to Erich Werner to say that we would like to purchase the violin he loaned us, since it is better than the ones at home, and the price is good compared to what we'd have to pay in Tulsa. Paul Stefan especially likes the violin. Ana Marie does too, but of course they cannot both buy the same one!
Mr. Werner got out three other violins, and said we could take them home to try them. We agreed, and now have another decision to make as to which one is the best buy.
It has become a joke that each time we go out we come back with a violin. Now there are 7 violins in the house - one from a friend, one from a cousin, one from a music store, and four from Erich Werner. Some people collect cars, we collect instruments! :-)

Ort family it is nice to read of some of your adventures over my lunch. God Bless Chuck Sheppard
Wonderful to read about germany. I lived in Uttenreth bei Erlangen with a german couple and their daughter when my husband was in the service(l960).I know.. a long time ago, but I still think of Gustave, Margaret & Crystal on Marloffsteiner Strasser and wonder if they are still there. we lost contact years ago.. tell them Theresa and Joe still think of them.
I now remember the last name.... Reitenbachs
