Out of the Rubble (ePub)

Since she was a child in war-torn Germany, the author had a dream that someday, in her improbable future, she would find a way to start a new life in the United States of America. She realized that dream in 1958 when Mr. Bob Gibson, of Gibson Wine Company in Elk Grove, California, offered to become her legal sponsor; he also saw to it that she would have a job upon arrival. In those days, it was required that immigrants had to have proof of employment upon entering the United States and produce a green card when hired to that position.

Throughout the years, she discovered that ordinary citizens had a voice in the future of America. Soon she became a volunteer in political organizations—these opportunities would have never been available for an average citizen in Germany. After becoming an American citizen, she found herself welcomed to various associations. She has over thirty years of political and business experience, served as a delegate to five national party conventions and as a presidential elector for her state. Appointments included Federal Council on the Aging (chairman) and member of the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board (CA); both of these needed Senate confirmations.

She has planned and organized countless rallies, conventions, dinners, and seminars. As a popular speaker, she covers many subjects like Americanism, our precious Constitution, and Bill of Rights; her childhood experiences, our valiant Veterans, and her love and gratitude toward the Veterans of the Western Allies who through the greatest humanitarian effort in world history stood up against the Soviet power and supplied Berlin with food and coal.

She is a proud American citizen blessed with three sons, their wives, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and has resided in Elk Grove since 1958.
