Over the ...Susan, I could not agree with you more. Over the years I learned not to go into detail about the Amanas, where I also was raised. For whatever reason or reasons so many people confuse Amana with Amish settlements. It got to the point where I did not tell anyone that I was born and raised in the Amanas. It was just too exhausting trying to explain the Amana experience to an "outsider". I, too, am very proud of my heritage and am I so thankful that I was raised in such a close knit, loving community. Susan, I consider you part of my extended family because we have known each other since we were five years old and we shared the same religion, values, political philosphy and heritage. Thank you for sharing your unique background! Hopefully, people will have a better understanding of Amana.<BR/><BR/>Your 'ole classmate,<BR/>Dave K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-28672203278059689592008-11-28T20:52:00.000-07:002008-11-28T20:52:00.000-07:00Thanks for visiting Delights of the Heart today. ...Thanks for visiting Delights of the Heart today. <BR/><BR/>Amana Colonies brings back so many memories.

I read your blog and am really proud you came out as a Colony person! As of yet, I haven't had the nerve or guts to come out as you have. Usually I tell people that I am somewhere from Iowa. Hopefully, before I die I'll have the gumption to tell the world that I was born and raised in the Amanas. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. Say hello to Dale. I often think of the crazy times we had in high school.<BR/><BR/>Tom Kiesling, a.k.a. Tommy, a.k.a. the "Beaver".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
