Claire and her friend spent four weeks touring Europe by
automobile along the unbeaten paths not usually followed by the
average tourist. We were priviliged to follow her from Holland
through Germany and on into Switzerland; from windmills and dikes,
through small towns, festivals and farms to the majestic glory of
the Matterhorn, all of these were captured on her beautiful colored
slides for our lasting enjoyment. Beautiful flowers, grass and
scenery were everywhere from Amsterdam, to Rotterdam, on to Cologne
and Frankfurt. We saw the Rotterdam Tower, the Peace Palace, the
old festival in Nuremburg and very attractive farm homes. The
Rhine river boats took us along Castles at Cologne, past hillside
vineyards up to the markets at Heidleburg.

Claire's artistic sense was apparent in her selection of
scenes as we visited with her in such places as Lanzurt, Salsburg,
Holstat, the Bonehouse and festival parades, and the gardens at
Interlaken. When she left us breathless from scenes on top of
the Jungfrau and Matterhorn mountains, we felt that we had been
with her all the way on her trip.

It was with reluctance that we returned to Brighton and
adjourned at 9:30 p.m. to meet in October with the Canbys at their
new home "Montresor".
