The coming of Christmas time brings relatives together from far and near. Such was the case for a far-away Karla Augustine-Harrison and her two daughters Katelyn and Jennifer. They live in the city called Point of Rocks, Maryland. The car trip was a straight through drive of 24 hours.
Karla is the sister of Kevin Augustine and all are descendants of the family of Robert Lee & Luella (Gabel) Augustine. What has become an annual visit allowed them to meet together at the Bukovina Society museum in Ellis, Kansas. For Katelyn and Jennifer it was a chance to see some artifacts and especially some gallery photos of other Augustine relations that also married into other Volga Germans and the Austrian Germans from Bukovina.
