Sherri arrived there on June 19. She then went on to Braunfels, which is iust north of Frankfurt in south-central West Germany, to stay with her German Family. The country side surrounding her German home remind- ed her very much of Pennsylvania. In her German family, she had two sisters whose names were Dorotheer and Friederike. These girls were very friendly, as were all the people of Ger- many. Sherri was impressed with the amount of re- construction that had been done in Germany and she enjoyed the contrast of the old and new. Sherri attended school with her sister for two weeks, during which she made a trip to Heidelberg and Mannheim.
