Ich Vermisse Dich, Minnesota! When I got my address, I was happy that it was in the Northern United States - like Minnesota. Sibylle Flamme, (or Billi) said when she arrived from Isernhagen, West Germany, to her new home at the Richard Haskell family. Billi, as a junior in Morton, was enthusiastic at the idea of having sports during school. She was in Volleyball, and Basketball. She was also active in FHA, and Pep Club. Later in the year she attended Project 120, which is a week long seminar, learning about Minnesota's government. It was held at the Capitol building in St. Paul. Billi was here as a student experiencing Minnesota's way of life, but the roles were reversed and she became the teacher and we became the students. ABOVE: Tony can't believe it and it really BOTHERS Shawn! Billi says, I miss you Minnesota. Billi with her American sisters, Kelly and Karyl. 22
