Jean Mappin and her daughter Kathleen Terra returned home June 18 from a European vacation of more than two weeks.
Their trip began with touring Rome, Italy. They also visited the Cassino War Cemetery in Italy where Jean’s uncle Private Hans Bauman is among the more than 4,200 allied soldiers who lost their lives in the Second World War are laid to rest.
Jean and Kathleen also visited Switzerland, the homeland of Jean’s Bauman side of the family and were impressed by how beautiful that country is.
A river cruise from Germany to Amsterdam was also a trip highlight of a very delightful holiday.
The trip celebrated Jean’s 80th birthday, which she marked earlier this year.
