Thank You All!

Well, Liz and Laura are finally back in the office today.

As we look at our trip in review, we realize how lucky we are to have been able to make this trip out to Oregon.

We have seen beautiful rolling hills, Stenger brewery memorabilia and pictures that we did not know existed (Our current favorite is the one of Anna Elizabeth Stenger Germann on the donkey in front of the waterfall-she is the one on the right), and spent a large part of our time in the extreme hospitality of the descendents of John Stenger: Evelyn Leahy Hankel, her daughter, Paulette, Bill Leahy, and Ann Chick.

We still do not know where the Stenger beer recipe is nor whether there are any existing Stenger beer bottles out there, but we do know that John Stenger would be very proud of his modern day descendents that have lovingly kept his memory and that of their grandparents and parents alive.

Thank you all for making this a great trip full of stories, wonderful pictures, and for sharing with us your most treasured possession: your family.
