<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Dear
Lowlanders,<br>
<br>
Tonight I introduced our Hanne (Hannelore Hinz) to a local (Seattle) friend of mine on Facebook, and it
reminded me to remind you all of her website:</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://lowlands-l.net/hanne/">http://lowlands-l.net/hanne/</a></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There
is a choice of three languages: <br>
Low Saxon (“Low German”): <a href="http://lowlands-l.net/hanne/nds/">http://lowlands-l.net/hanne/nds/</a><br>
German (“High German”): <a href="http://lowlands-l.net/hanne/de/">http://lowlands-l.net/hanne/de/</a><br>
English: <a href="http://lowlands-l.net/hanne/en/">http://lowlands-l.net/hanne/en/</a><br>
<br>
I hadn’t looked at the site for quite some time (although I produced it myself).
Tonight I was reminded what wonderful work Hanne does within her genre “Folk”
with occasional excursions into the less conventional. And it reminded me that
we have every right to be proud of her and cherish her presence in our midst.<br>
<br>
I am particularly taken by Hanne’s spoken renditions. Please listen to them (in
genuine Mecklenburg Low Saxon) if you care.<br>
<br>
Please bear in mind that our Hanne belongs to a shrinking number of genuinely
native speakers of Low Saxon on German-administered soil, specifically of
Mecklenburg Low Saxon. We are privileged to have her among us and ought to appreciate
her as the resource she is.<br>
<br>
I hope to expand Hanne’s site. It’s one of a million other tasks on my
list.<br>
<br>
Please enjoy this if it is your cup of tea!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Reinhard/Ron<br>
Seattle, USA</p>
