Marie and Peter Voss in Munich
Marie died on Jan. 10, 2018. This site was started when we got a new email-address that is no longer the main adress. As it turned out, there can be years
between updates. Therefore we will mention here only that we also got
new normal bikes, that we use the bikes frequently, still do Bavarian folk dancing and lately
have been quite
active with the Munich Peace movement (Münchner
Friedensbündnis and Munich
American Peace Committee). In the year 2005 we added the
chronicles
for the years 2002 to 2005. Folk dancing was the occasion for a four week trip to Cuba in November 2002. The first two weeks and also a few days at the end we stayed in the tourist ghetto of Guardelavaca and the rest of the time we spent traveling with four friends on a roundtrip from the east to the west of Cuba and back. During the first two weeks nine days were dedicated to the cultural exchange in Banes and surroundings. We were a group of 25 people dancing and singing to Alpine folk music and the Cubans reciprocated during this time with an extensive program of dances, songs and visits. Peter was responsible for filming videos and occasionally also took photos with the video camera. Marie's camera had already got lost on the plane on the way to Cuba.
Folk dancing was also the reason to make an attempt for a somewhat more
exhausting hike into the mountains for a weekend. Such hikes have been
very strenuous
for Marie for quite some time. But in July 2003 the hike up to the
Wolfratshauser mountain hut near Lermoos in Austria on the Western side
of the Zugspitze mountain went without problems. There we danced into
the night on the terrasse (see folk
dancing)
and had a wonderful constantly changing view
of the Wetterstein mountains. The first photo of this photo
collection can also be viewed in greater detail. In May 2004 the group invited our Cuban host
Lázaro, for whom
the group had arranged an extensive visiting program, starting with a
stay at a mountain hut in the snow, then plenty of folklore and a
performance of Lohengrin at the National Theatre.
Lázaro
is
responsible for the music program of Radio Banes. Unfortunatelyy the
two of us had problems with their ankle ankles, Peter through the
after-effect of torn ligaments, Marie as a result of the
descent
from the mountain after the stay in the hut. We therefore
missed
a good part of the
program. In the year 2004 there were three more significant events, of
which
photos exist: a raft trip
on the
Isar river, a visit to Rütznow/Prusinow
in Poland, where Peter lived during the war with his grandparents, and
Peter's trip to the olive
harvest in Palästine. In the year 2002, i.e.three years after Peter had retired, he wrote a review article on radiation effects in silicon which, however, was never published. The fact that two people spent their time proofreading the article should be reason enough to somehow try to make it public. This is the reason why it appears here as a somewhat unusual attachment. Later Peter reported the paper to his old colleagues at a power semicoductor colloquium. |
