Not many of our readers know Connie.  She has, for many years, 
patiently suffered with a variety of illnesses including diabetes and 
porphyria.  Though she did not participate in our forums, and could 
not travel to most of our conventions, she has been a long time 
supporter of Germans from Russia and had family connections to 
Volhynia.  It was Connie who first suggested the name, "Wandering 
Volhynians", the magazine first  published by Ron Neumann and later 
by Ewald Wuschke.  She contributed greatly to the Domries research, 
most of which is in our SGGEE Database.

We will certainly miss her and her participation.
