Delivered

200 lbs of books, Bier und Brot, the Wehners of Southeast Missouri, just arrived by FedEx from the publishers an hour ago. I have to figure out where to put the boxes. It will take a few weeks to get copies to those I promised a book.

Printed

The book is printed and ready to bind. I'll keep you posted.

Done! Done! Done!

Bier und Brot

The Wehners of Southeast Missouri

Robert E. Tapscott

The book went to the printers today. Those who I promised free copies should receive a book in the next couple of months. If you don't, let me know. And please stay in touch.

Pause due to Recent Contacts

Two people, one a descendant of Anna Margaret Wehner (daughter of John George and Theresa Vaeth) and the other familiar with some descendants of Frederick William Becker Sr. (son of Amalia Wehner) and Rosella Kelley, have contacted me. I am holding up printing until I have a chance to see what contributions they may have.

Printing Delay

Having a little trouble electronically transmitting Bier und Brot to the printers. Nothing at all serious. I will keep you posted.

Done!

It's done! Fertig! Fini! Bier und Brot is going to the printers, but unfortunately not for about a month. Mary Frances and I will be absent off and on during the next few weeks and I don't want books to arrive and sit on our doorstep, even if for only a few hours until found by our house sitter. Those of you promised copies will receive them in a couple of months. Meanwhile, watch this site to find when the printing is started and finished.

Alex D. Palmer

I was sorry to hear of the death of Alex D. Palmer, husband of Marian L. Wehner (granddaughter of John George and Theresa (Vaeth) Wehner and great granddaughter of Nicholas and Clara Wehner. Alex passed away 1 Apr 2013. His obituary can be found at http://legacy.pioneerlocal.com/obituaries/pioneerlocal-barrington/obituary.aspx?n=alex-d-palmer&pid=164166185#fbLoggedOut.  Marian passed away earlier in Nov 2012.  Our deepest sympathies to his children Jan (who has been generous with her help on the Wehner book) and Kelvin.

Work on Bier und Brot continues. I am about 3/4 of the way finished with the final proofing.
