The oldest is 110. Remembrance Day is taken very seriously, as it is still officially a day of mourning.<BR/><BR/>I am fascinated by your mult-nationalities, though I hope there is never a fully united Europe, or at least not one with Britain in it.

You do have a diverse citizenship, don't you? Our tour guide for recent European trip had your same situation--German by birth, married to an Italian and living in Italy. Oh, she had also lived in Paris for over ten years and then got tired of the traffic. I loved the Eiffel Tower with its blue lights and gold stars to signify the United Europe.<BR/><BR/>By the way, if you read my post and find that I've made some historical errors please tell me so I can correct.
