Mary. Clarice, Agape, 1962

Mary had long dreamed of going to Europe. In fact in 1961 when Fritz came back from a year in Munich and Europe, she got an invitation from her friend Patty Parsons to see Fritz's slides.

Mary's father,  Fred,  forbade her from going, but she saved her money, arranged a 3 week stay at the Agape Christian work camp in Italy and went off with her dear friend Clarice Conner to spend the summer in Europe.

Mary ran into Fritz when she returned from Europe as she was passing out programs at a concert. She is now dating Fritz Hasler. 


A requirement for all Hasler girl friends is that you had to be able to climb out of the water into the boat without help.

Mary and Marta, open the door bleary eyed above Silverton Colorado.

There was an open field above the town, so we drove up a ways and parked for the night.

We bought an old Ford conversion van. It was strong enough to pull the boat and had two beds and a cook stove. Perfect for a 30 day tour of the West.

On our 5 week tour of the Western US the summer of 1972: Colorado, Nevada, the whole West coast from San Diego to Vancouver and back through Canada and Idaho.

He seemed to be very popular with the ladies of the family

Newborn Matt, Mary, Edgewater 02July1982

We decided that we wanted him and took him right home.

These pictures pretty much say it all about Mary's love for animals and bringing up our kids with animals.  To day nothing of at least four big dogs and numerous cats we have owned.


See below:




Mary, Matt, Murphy, Edgewater, 1996

Mary always had to have animals. It started with our cat Cat Ballou when we were first married in Madison, then our Afghan dog Shila Amahari in Boulder. With the three acres in Maryland, everything was fair "game". For tenders we had three goats that we milked, there were rabbits, ducks, turtles and a dog (see Murphy above). Other people have animals, and they frequently die prematurely of one thing or another. Mary's animals are practically immortal. In 2016, we currently have two Labs that are approaching 15 years of age. (oh my god)

Clarice and Mary spent the summer of 1962 in a work camp near Milan Italy and then traveled all over the continent and the UK on less than $5/day


On this trip the two of them visited friends of Clarice in Oslo Norway. They spent three days in Paris after which Fritz joined them. The three of them traveled on to Santiago de Compostela in the North East corner of Spain. Clarice stayed on to walk the Way of Saint James while Mary & Fritz flew on to Vienna etc. (see below)
