The University of Stuttgart connected us to the brilliant and gifted culture of Germany. This university lies at the center of one of largest high-tech regions in Europe, with global players such as Daimler and Bosch, innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and renowned research institutions. Kordula and Joseph Gierlich hosted a group of us who helped celebrate Emily’s birthday, as the rest of our group spent a fun-filled evening with Heidi Depner, enjoying her magnificent paintings and art work, and being treated to her delicious pumpkin soup!
The richness of Germany totally filled our hearts and minds and will stay with us always.
