Family photo for Gundel and Alfred's 50th anniversary, 26 July 1997.

1994 - Scott and Drew try out the cupboards in Alfred and Gundel's new house.

Gundel and her beloved hanging baskets, mid-90s - the greenhouses were right outside the deck, and Gundel spent a lot of time in them, potting up and trimming azaleas.

Alfred and Jessie. Jessie was a rescue dog and gave all her allegiance to Alfred, keeping as close to him as possible. She wasn't allowed in the house, so she made herself a place to lie down in the flower bed, right outside Alfred's chair by the window. She wasn't allowed in the greenhouses either, but she knew all the time which one Alfred was working in, and when visitors came to see him, she could indicate which greenhouse they could go to.

A celebration, mid-90s - Rosel and George Bell, Dieter and Frauke Claus, Alfred, Gundel.
