Lawrence W. Shultz led Brethren tours from 1945 to 1970. In 1958 he led an Anniversary Tour with 72 participants to England, Scotland, and Europe including the 250th Anniversary of the Church of the Brethren in Schwarzenau, Germany. In his book, People and Places, he includes some Quotable Quotes from that 1958 Tour Party.
I'm just going to shine in European History at Bridgewater this year, The tour notes are tremendous. I cannot tell you how much pleasure and help they have given me.

I have more than 900 pictures of the trip. They tell a tremendous story to me.

We often look back to Europe through our mind's eye. We thought you would like to see yourself asleep in Holland. Here is a slide. - Emma and Clyde Weaver
It sounds like they had a wonderful time. I trust those going to Europe/Schwartzenau this month will also have many pleasant memories of their trip as well.
