Herr's Potato Chips!

Following is an email exchange regarding Herr's brand potato chips.
----------------
Hi Mary,
I saw something this week, while in Philadelphia on business, that
reminded me of the reunion. Herr's potato chips. Truly. I'm not making
it up. Do you have those in Illinois? We don't have Herr's brand out here
on the west coast. So of course I had to try them. :-) There are zillions
of varieties but the baked potato chips, potato sticks, and the sourdough
pretzels have been thoroughly hand-taste-tested and deemed to be worthy of
carrying the Herr name. We might have to have additional testers at the
reunion.....

Hi all!
Yes, I found Herr's potato chips at Christmas at Target or K-Mart or one of
those stores and bought two bags. They are great! I saved one of the bags to
send to Mary, but lost it. They do have a website with the history of the
company. Don't think they are related.

And, a photo of Betsy proudly showing that, even though she doesn't officially share the name, she is still "Herr's".

Missed Photos

Here are a couple of other family photos we missed the other night:


Response from Diana

Aunt Mary and Uncle Peter,

I enjoyed seeing the new pictures on the web site! I've attached another one in case you'd like to add it to the collection. Kilian achieved his Eagle Scout rank earlier this year, but we postponed the award ceremony until just after graduation when we knew his grandparents would be here. Aunt Laurie was also able to come, so this is a picture of us at his reception June 6th. See you next month!
