Through discussing what Herta considers to be one of the most valuable inventions of her lifetime, she calls attention to mail. She has sent letters to her loved ones over the years, often written in the German language. Herta appreciates the importance of remaining connected: “We may live far apart, but I am close with my family. We always know where each other are.” Last year, Herta had a fabulous birthday gathering with her family. She anticipates ringing in her upcoming birthday surrounded by love: “We hug and squeeze each other. It warms my heart seeing everyone so happy with
their own growing families.” Along with three daughters, Herta’s son is her eldest child. “He turns 70 this year,” Herta announces. Presently, Herta is focused on her six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, as she lovingly voices, “One is still a baby.” Asked how Herta plans to celebrate her birthday on August 15th, she responds with wit, “100 years was enough. Parties are too much work. Of course, I will eat birthday cake!”
