These Kleinsorge kin (my mother's family) were so cordial and so generous witn their time, their homes and their delicious cooking. It was hard to say goodbye to them as I boarded the 1 : 20 a.m. night train via Hannover to Frankfurt to fly homeward. Before we reached Sea-Tac the man who sat beside me gathered statistics about our westward flight. He found that we traveled in Pan-Am 's big 747 for 4220 miles. Our average altitude was 35,000 feet, and we cruised at 550 miles per hour. At takeoff from London the ship weighed 685,000 lbs; it carried 40,000 gallons fo fuel which weighed 255,000 pounds. We were in the air just a little over nine hours and ten minutes. Our route was across northern Ireland, southern Greenland, Canada's Baffin Island, Hudson Bay and central and western provinces. It will still be days, maybe weeks, before I work my way back to "normal." I expect to write again about local happenings after I become re-oriented. You will no longer see me accompanied by my mut Tippy. I have given dear Tip to my husband's grandneice who has taken him to live with her on the Earl Weatherford summer pasture above Kimberly in Grant County. Thus you will be spared further puppy reports, although I may occasionally mention my faithful cat Sam. My typewriter awaits, and if you have local tidbits you would like me to help you share with our readers, try to catch me at my telephone. P.S. If you like to pull weeds, do stop by my yard how the weeds have flourished.
