JRLVR1Jane (JRLVR1) and Jerry are new travelers now that their children are grown and have some extra $$ and their travels have just begun. Jane was an Army brat in Germany in the 60's (Karlsruhe) and she says going back recently was an incredible experience. Jerry has been with the same insurance company for 35 yrs (now an Asst Mgr) and even managed a stint in the Navy with time in the Mediterranean. Jane was with the insurance company for 10 yrs and then became a full-time mother – now working part-time as a premium pet food rep and pet nutritionist. She is from a Dutch and Danish background while Jerry is French and Oklahoma Indian. Their favorite slice of Germany is the southern region and we were lucky enough to enjoy their company at the Urach 2000 and the Mosel 2005 meetings...
