There is nothing like a loaf of fresh baked bread! The aroma! The taste! While I served in the United States Air Force in Italy years ago, I would love to visit Villach Austria, which was an hour away and refresh at the warm bath and spa.
I first would go into the site and loved to have a fresh brewed coffee and Austrian pastry.
Walking up to the bakery one could smell the fresh bread that was just baked that morning and loved to purchase a fresh hearty baked Austrian bread to take home, which was so delicious!

Police believe a 76-year-old Corinth man may have had a medical emergency prior to crashing his vehicle into a tree Sept. 6 on U.S. 25.
Larry Elden Ewing was pronounced dead at the scene after his 2004 Buick LeSabre left the roadway and struck a tree.
Ewing was driving southbound on U.S. 25 and upon approaching a right-hand curve, the vehicle crossed the northbound lane and exited the roadway, according to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office accident report.
The car travelled approximately 200 feet on the embankment before striking a tree head on.

When Lt. Col. Charles Kettles was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama on July 18, John Osborne of Williamstown was right there with him. Just as he was on May 15, 1967, when he flew the last rescue mission of the day into “Chump Valley,” South Vietnam.

As commander of the 176th Aviation Company, Kettles’ mission was to fly in reinforcements and rescue wounded soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division, who were outnumbered by the North Vietnamese near Duc Pho, according to the U.S. Army website.
