Hi

            It's been such a long time since I left the US but I believe that some of the older folks living in Minn Lake may still remember me.  My name is Dolores Zumkeller and in 1968 I moved from my home country, the islands of Trinidad & Tobago, to Minnesota Lake. I lived with George & Mary Harris and was known then as Dolores Harris.  I attended Minnesota Lake Public High School and graduated in 1974. During high school I was a pom-pom girl and in 1971 I was crowned MISS FESTAG 1st Runner-up and attended many parades with the Festag Queen Committee. I have many fond memories of those wonderful parades and teas. Since leaving Minnesota I very often reflect back on how wonderful the people of Minn Lake were to me. Now, with a bit more wisdom, I realize that so many people especially, the teachers, of MLHS understood the problems of a 13 year old girl of east Indian decent moving to an all white community so far away from home, family and culture. They were always understanding and supportive and for that I have always been thankful and appreciative.
        Since leaving Minnesota, I came back to Trinidad got married to Hans-Dieter Zumkeller of the Black Forest in Germany and have a son Kevin. In 1986 we all moved to Germany and lived there for 14 years.  During that time Kevin and I became fluent in the German language. In November 2000 we moved back to Trinidad and started an Engineering and Construction Company and presently employ over 100 daily paid workers. Hans is responsible for all Engineering and Technical matters, I am responsible for Administration / Accounts and Kevin and his wife Marlene are in charge of all payroll and site administration.  We are presently the electrical sub-contractors for Bouygues Battiment ofParis, France who are building a Hyatt Regency Hotel as well as 2 office towers (29 stories) and 1 carpark in the city capital, Port of Spain.
          Hopefully my story is not too long nor too boring.

Best Regards

Dolores Zumkeller
