It is the oldest continuously performing men's choir in the USA. We sing German and English songs at many events in Indianapolis. The other hobby is genealogy. We still love to travel, and in the spring of 2008 we spent a month in Europe. Among other places, we visited my grandfather Feit's home village in Germany.
