WONDER LAKE " 4America the Beautiful' - I have never heard it sung by a crowd around me. To tell the truth I took very deep breaths, feeling the spirit with which it was sung". , It was Dr. Hanns Egon Freund speaking in emotional tones as he referred to the Mass just concluded at St. John the Baptist Catholic church, Johnsburg. Dr. Freund was guest of honor at the Freund Family Fest held Sept. 4. "And the final song, 'Holy God We Praise Thy Name' was also very thrilling for me", he continued. On the first day of their visit to the McHenry-Johnsburg area, Dr. Freund and his wife, Astrid, enjoyed a Friday morning meeting with one of his closest relatives in this area, Alex Adams and his wife, Loretta. After that, the group of the Adams', Freunds' and Phyllis Bauer, the Freunds' hostess, paid a visit to the farm where Mr. Adams grandfather, Nicholas Freund, settled, on the east side of Wilmot road, just north of Ringwood road. The farm is presently owned by LeRoy "Bud" Miller and his wife, Rita Freund Miller. Part of the present barn is the original, built by Dr. Freund's great- grand uncle, Nicholas Freund: His great-grandfather, Martin, was a brother of Nicholas and Martin was the only one of the Freund brothers of Engeln to remain in Eifel region of Germany. A visit to the St. John's cemetery resulted in much exclamation by Dr. Freund, as to the number of Freunds buried there. He remarked that he felt as though he had "come home - never have I seen so many Freunds!" In order to identify the Freunds he has collected records for, Dr. Freund had a coded numbering system. Alex Adams, his guide in the cemetery, explained who each of the Freund gravestones represented. On Sunday afternoon, in an in-1 terview with Dr. Gil Foraaciari, an instructor of sociology at the McHenry County college, Dr. Freund reflected on the Freund Family Fest and the contrast between life in the United States and life in Germany. The following are excerpts from the interview. "The family reunion couldn't have been the same in Germany - they are more formal. The Americans have met me in astonishment." "I had imagined perhaps it would be 'American'. It was indeed otherwise. What I had imagined was that Americans were like your rock music. But all the preparations and programs for the reunion showed me you are very serious. "The reunion showed me another America, different than I thought it was. The reunion would not have been the same without the Mass and the priest with his talk about the past and the future of the people of the emigration. The people did not lose their generosity to the church. In Germany, the churches are supported by the government, with money received from income tax. A portion of everyone's income tax goes to the church of his religion. If he does not wish to pay, he must sign a paper renouncing his allegiance to any church. "They did not lose their faith in God. They pray as their forefathers did. In Germany the people no longer have this faith and belief. I never could have imagined the church would be full - this you never see anymore- only three or four rows, mostly elderly people, in Germany. I have never seen so many go to Holy Communion sinc& my childhood. During the Sunday afternoon in­ terview time, his wife, Astrid, enjoyed a shopping trip with the daughters of host couple, Roman and Phyllis Bauer. Julie Nordholz, Sheryl Ken- nebeck and Brenda Kreutzer took Mrs. Freund to a nearby shopping Shopping centers as they are known here, are unknown in Germany. The stores are open only during the week, not in the eyenings or on Sunday, and only for a few hours on Saturday, so it is very hectic doing shopping when the woman works. It must be done on the lunch break and even then, some shops are closed. There are a few fast food shops of a popular chain, in Germany, but they are frequented only by the youth, with which they are very popular. Dr. Freunds' final comment was that the reunion brought together many who were somewhat related to each other, but because it was the Freund Family Fest, all were brothers and sisters. "It was a very long, but a very great day - a very great adventure," Dr. Freund An automobile traveling 30 miles per hour will go 44 feet in the space of a single second.

WILD LIFE BUSY Even though the temperature reaches the high 70's and the sun feds warm as you walk around the yard, Mother Nature must be whispering in the ears of our wild life. Have you noticed th<sre are fewer robins around right noW? I'm no bird expert, but I can see less and less of them in our trees lately. The squirrels have been running around feverishly getting their winter supplies in. They seem to be tripping over each other as they take off with a mouth full of nuts. , I wonder if we should take heed from all these little creatures and get our freezers supplied for the winter also?
