Wintereggs discover Switzerland's beauty in every direction

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

It was over a year ago when Joan Winteregg, wife of the late LaMar Winteregg, made a suggestion to her family that she would like to visit Switzerland sometime, preferably over Christmas.

It didn't take her sons, Jon and Greg long to pick up on the idea. Last fall, family members were talking about where they would like to spend Christmas, 2011.

With a smile on his face, Jon announced, "mom and I are going to celebrate Christmas in Switzerland, does anyone want to come along?"

"The response was more than I dreamed," said Jon, whose father and uncle, Doyle Winteregg, co-owned Poplar Restaurant in Berne for many years from 1955 to 1976.
