We started issuing the Weissler Holiday Gazette back in 1993, inspired by a newsletter we’d received the prior year from Marcel Hagelberg in Germany. Back then the gazette was a Microsoft Word document that Liza printed on fancy holiday paper and mailed out to anyone interested (and probably a few who weren’t). It eventually turned into a web page on our aves.org server, gradually became less chatty and contained more photographs. We went through a brief slideshow phase, and the current incarnation is still on aves.org but as a wordpress blog post.
25+ years worth of gazettes chat about our activities starting 10 years into our marriage, lots of travel, lots of cycling, music, work; moving to Arizona from Agoura Hills, CA in 2001; then retirement for both of us in 2013 (Robert) and 2015 (Liza). Six cats, too (Ace, Footsie, Abby, Cookie (too brief), Phoebe, Woody). Translated into other languages for a few years in an effort to work on our language skills – not sure we succeeded!
In any case, what a wonderful trip through life we’ve been on … and many more years to come!
By the way, on older issues that were MS Word docs, some special characters no longer appear properly. C’est la vie.
