The "Lerch Treffen" took place at the Ruttigerhof on May 7th

 

Vreni's maternal grandmother Elise Lerch grew up on the Ruttigerhof farm near Olten.

Her nephew Ernst took over the farm, but left when a railway was built through the farmland. He set up a successful business

as did another nephew Robert, who recently published a book " Das alte Lied der Eule".

The meeting was attended by about 50 members of the extended family.
