Here's the link to the video clip web page: Go to Reunion 2004 Video Clips
The video clips are in Quicktime so if you don't have the free player loaded on you computer there's a download link on the Video Clips web page. If you have a 56K modem the files will download really slow (for some of the large clips probably in excess of an hour?) If you have DSL or Cable service you should be fine just a several minute download.
If you would like/prefer a copy of the video clips on CD just Get Video Clips Mailed Here .

The Magical Mysterey Tour 2004 was awesome and truly magical. I hope to be able to get the web site updated with photos within the next few days. Just a few highlights: Ken Pelfrey and I met up with Chris Workman on Amelia Island and then later with John Stevenson at Eagle Harbor Florida. More than 20 of us made it to Rimbach for three days of memories - marching in the Rimbach Beerfest parade, reserved seats at the Fest tent, pilgrimage up the Hill to the "old site" and the "old old site", then lunch at the Schoenblick. I had never seen Det K from the Czech side of Hoherbogen and it is awesome - as you will see from the photos. For those Wobeckers you will be delighted to know the Bahnhofs Hotel still exists but not as a hotel but residence and that Eiscafe Amos still exists but as Eiscafe Camillo and the current owner knew of Amos. Also located the Golden Kugel and where I lived in Helmstedt in 1968/69. Bischofsgruen still hosts Tanzcafe Reissmans on Friday and Saturday nights but it is a very young teenage crowd. The Lustiger Bozniack was not as good as I remember but I forced one down anyway ....... Fred Haack and Carl "Pit" Peters joined me and the "regular gang" - Ken Knoor and Irene, Al and Leni Murdock, Rick and Wilma Wheeler, John and Renata Flood and Gene Looram (Ed Railsback was not able to attend but sent along a great album of Czech songs.) - from the area. Gene Looram, Carl "Pit" Peters, Ken Knoor, my wife Anita and I spent a relaxed Friday evening enjoying the beer food and conversation. Saturday morning Carl, Fred, Anita and I made the pilgrimage "up the hill". We were able to gain access inside the old stone ops building - the only building which still exists - where I video taped the building inside and out and the site. There seems to be someone cleaning up the inside of the stone building but who or for what purpose we don't know. Al Murdock gave me some really great pictures of Schneeberg taken from the ski lift - once again a perspective few have seen until now. Lots of great memories and a thought to try and return for the Easter Reunion in 2006 so Ken Knoor will have to come up with new jokes to tell! For those who haven't yet made the "trip" ... it is expensive but worth every memory. I'll send a notice when the pictures are published on http://www.schneebergvets.org Phil
