In the 50th and 60th we usually had visitors from the great western continent. Some of the visitors were first or second generation Americans. One visit I specially remember is that of my second cousin Beverly. Beverly was about 20 years old and a very nice person.  Furthermore she stayed a couple of weeks so we learned to know her. Usually most visits were only a few days. Beverly's grandmother was a sister of my grandfather.
