Frudden Get-together

(Last modified: 8/3/08)

On Saturday, 8/2/08, Marian and Fred Ufferfilge hosted a get-together for the Frudden relatives. There were 14 Fruddens and 7 of us ausländers. It was a wonderful reunion, thanks to the efforts of Fred and Marian, especially since they had just returned from a trip to Russian a week earlier and are in the midst of buying and selling houses. The timing was important for Freddy Oldsen who had to return to Germany today after a 2 week stay with his daughter, Svea and her friend Freya. Though we had a great time, we missed those who weren't able to be there.

Among those attending were Ernie Frudden, his girl friend, Audrey, and his sister, Eleanor with her son, Troy, Larry Frudden's son Jason, Marian and Dale Farber, Eleanor and Harald Lorenzen, Inge Dahl and her daughter, Lynn, Ingke Rickmers and her sister, Lora, Lora's husband Bob, Freddy Oldsen, his daughter Svea and her friend Freya, Pat and I and of course Fred and Marian.
