Thank you to each and every friend and relative who attended the Berliner Kehler Homecoming and book launch event at the Mennonite Heritage Village on Sunday, July 26, 2009.
Kehler cousins, Syd Reimer, Al Reimer and Glen Kehler were overwhelmed with the response and grateful for the recognition of their three years of work to put the Berliner Kehler story into print.
There were over 175 relatives and friends at the afternoon event which included a reading by author Al Reimer and reminiscing by Glen Kehler. Syd Reimer chaired the program and the Ebenfeldshcha Bosch Brennt Dohl Band (Peter B. Kehler & Friends) provided musical entertainment.
Thanks also to the Kehler cousins who baked and served cookies and coffee to accompany the visiting after the program.
Sales of the book The Berliner Kehler Clan – A History in Portraits were brisk and the first printing was sold out. However, a second printing is underway and will be available shortly.
