Tauernhaus, Krimmler, Salzburg, Austria

   I know this isn't German, per se, but, I am just curious if anyone has any information on this building/hotel or whatever it is. I have pictures on some post cards that were written from relatives in Austria, and I have been told that an ancestor owned this. I found information on the internet, and the names of the family members who owned it were given, but I see no name that sounds like any of my ancestors. Maybe someone in Europe can tell me about this. The key words are Tauernhaus, Pinzgau, 1600m, Krimmler. If anyone can tell me any info about this place, please send your comments or email me. Thanks!!!! Oh, the web site is this: www.krimmler-tauernhaus.at/

Meanwhile melt butter in frying pan over low-medium heat. Add onion and ham and let them saute. Add drained noodles and stir with spatula. I add Bavarian Spice seasoning to taste.

German Music on Titusville Radio Station

You can get the Polish/German music on the computer (Internet). Here is the url for it: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wejf
It only works on Sunday evenings from 4:30-6:00 pm.
The station is WPIO in Titusville, Florida. It is neat because Frank and Ruth Mortinouski (not sure of spelling) are on there and you can observe them running the station at this time.
