Olympic Contenders Arrive In Germany
Mr. and Mrs. Gustave F. Lussi and their sons, Serge and Craig, have arrived in Germany with Olympic contenders Dick Button, Muriel Reich and Suzie Morrow.
In a letter just received by her sister, Mrs. Larry Quigley, 153 Lake Flower avenue, Mrs. Lussi reported that their flight was on schedule all the way and that it was an extremely impressive sight to be looking down on the sun as it rose and set, rather than looking up at it.
Their present address is Kurhotel Wigger Baverische Alpen, Garmisch - Partenkirchen, Germany.
