My Life on Two Continents

the long version

This book is the memoir of Mathilde Apelt Schmidt, daughter of the Bremen Senator Dr. Hermann Apelt, born in 1976 in Weimar, died in 1960 in Bremen, both in Germany. I, his daughter, was born in 1921 and am now (2010) in my 90st year. I am the youngest of four girls. My sisters all passed away. I came to America in 1952, married the German Leo Waldemar Schmidt in Lodi, California, had four children, and moved with my family to Castro Valley in the Bay Area of California. I started writing and publishing books in 2006. You can visit my website at either my name or www.mschmidtbooks.com.
