AHSGR International Convention 2007


In June, my husband and I attended the 38th Annual International Convention of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia in Hays, Kansas. I took one of the T&S Mobile Projectors camcorders and taped the majority of the programs from Wednesday night till noon Sunday. The DVDs above are what I have gotten edited and burned so far. I still have about 16 tapes to transfer and edit. The Golden Wheat Chapter (where I'm a member) does not sell these but keeps them in them in their library for use by members.

Princess Harris

Princess Harris is not only a Kansas Talent, she's a Kansas Treasure. I don't know if she was born in Kansas, but she lives in Wichita. She has agreed to allow me to use her music for my story and I intend to talk to her about possibly even writing music specifically for it once I get it all put together with artwork and narrative. The video sampler was recorded at a meeting of the Golden Wheat Chapter of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia (AHSGR) where Princess Harris gave a performance.
