It is nearly impossible to report the time spans while in the Office as I do with our Family affairs. I do my best not neglect you when using different time spans .One should not forget time is marching on, my life and our journey is not exempted from the frailty of living. There will be challenges always and privileged to have the tools and stamina to succeed. There were times with lesser assignment, it looked like a trout or a void, but it was not. The family and job calendar adjusted themselves, as time moves on and will do so in the future. In prior Websites, you listened to the description of Elkhorn affair, the
hundred year`s storm, my heart attack, in closing of these calamities the temporary Office assignment. The worst times I had since started working for the D.O.T. better said, cannot remember another time like that at all. I felt the same as the Greek legend tells us of the Rising of Phoenix. If you want, asked I will explain to you. I did not rise as the Phoenix in the mythology, but start thinking about an effective way to walk overcoming the negative aspect of the total time descripts above .After resisting the limited change of reassignment to the Office in my mind, positive powers reappeared. Management offered a very good assignment outside; however, I preferred to finish my office assignment and stay put. Eventual the work in the Office increased to my likening, but most of all the Service I could render to the Wisconsinites increased to higher level. Consequently, I asked for a permanent status to stay in the Office, which much eagerness and happiness approved. A deal is never over, until the...? I was very happy that one of the principle adopted worked better than expected: Go from a Defensive mode into an aggressive mode in other wording, Never run away from a Problem confront it!
A Wisconsin Crown Jewel, the Dells.
To make it very interesting our walk around the wonders of the natural Dells I add some historical happenings Ions ago, whichwas presented in a tourist handout. Like usual a few pictures will emphasis a little bit better than the text the reality of the beautiful surroundings. One of the oldest sites s to appear on maps of the westernGreatLake region is the "Dalles" of the Wisconsin River. It was identified as a convenient reference point by the French explores in the 1700`s.The name stuck after the French explorers left Wisconsin, with the spelling and pronunciation Anglicized as the "Dells." An existing settlement named KilbourneCityofficially changed as Wisconsin Dells, in 1931. Many Indian legends contain serpent like similarity with the River, which actual was created and formed 15000 years ago. The true story is just as exciting. When the great glacial lake of Wisconsinstarted to break free from its large ice dam the waters rushed in a catastrophic flood and carved out the great rock formations we see today. It`s said that the noise of the rushing water would have been heard up to six states away. The above and more we read at a tourist kiosk, while we were waiting to for the arrival of the boat, which will take us an opportunity to see and live the beautiful waters and walk thru the wooded surroundings'. Opa and the children communicated very well, with the little German they knew. He really got in there favor when ice cream purchased and given as a treat.

A Wisconsin`s Jewel, 1975 Surprise!
My Father (Opa) cashed in on a promise we made at his last Auf Wiedersehen in 1972, to be welcomed in our home at all time. The children in particular loved him very much; he had a great time with his grand children. He informed us at his last visit that to come the next time in the fall/ winter to experience the colder season. The last time he visited in the spring and liked the Wisconsin seasons. We went to Chicago and picked him up, didn`t stop until we reached home which he admired before even entered. At the day of his arrival we talked about planning to go to the Wisconsin Dells, it met his approval. When up there, approximate two hours drive, wanted to show him our permanent camping place in close vicinity of the Dells.

What`s happening at the Office? 1975/80
The boat ride, with seven landing, lead us thru wonderful untouched by man areas of mothers nature display. We crossed a holy place of a local Indian Tribe. Close by in the summer presentation of Indian culture like singing, dancing and performing a theater like show. The highlight this walk is always the leaping of a person or recently by German shepherd's dog at the Standing Rock. This unbelievable show presented to the public sine 1888. The attached Photo shows in actuality the jumps of the Son of the Photograph H.N. in 1888. At the end of our wandering, my Father expressed his liking, never will he forget this wondrous time. After a little treat, we went to our last
stop, before leaving back home, the Campground few minutes away. We were thinking about selling the camper and the property it was standing on, because our children now 19 to 11 years young didn`t show to much interest to continue camping by themselves. On the way home we discussed the issue, Opa participation welcomed, and decided let a go for some more years. It was getting dark by the time we arrived at home; it was in no time that every one safe, sound and happy slept. Many thanks went to heaven to my Friend.
