At the beautiful Castle Pillnitz on the Elbe, we had a great morning with presentations on various Keyserling(k) subjects: 1. Hugo Alexander from Schwerin talked about the life and times of his grandmother Gertrud using her diaries and cookbooks. He had lots of great old pictures. 2. Bob from Ottawa talked about how the people of the Baltic states percieved the Baltic Nobility. His presentation brought out a different aspect of those times. It caused a good discussion led by Diedrich. 3. Harry from Berlin talked about the various Keyserlingk writers. He underlined that there were a number of talented writers and thinkers in the family. |
