Caption
When Frieda Haerer (at the center holding flowers) and her three young children ended their plane trip from Frankfurt, Germany, this morning they found an enthusiastic welcoming group waiting at the Willow Run airport. Two brothers of Mrs. Haerer - Max Aupperle (at the extreme left) of 716 Oakland Ave. and Walter Aupperle (at the far right) of Chelsea - had not seen her for almost 20 years and had never seen the children. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Aupperle of 309 Catherine St. (standing near Mrs. Haerer) had last visited her in Germany in 1934, before the births of two of the children. George A. Wild, jr., of 426 Crest Ave., (beside Max) meet the Haerer family while his Army unit was stationed in Germany. The three children who formed such an important part of the reunion are Armin, 15, Herwalt, 10, and Arnhild, 7.

BETTER THAN EVER - Ann Arbor's "Mr. Bones," 83-year-old Percy Danforth, was in the Dollar Bill Copying, 611 Church St., this week having some music copied for his composer wife Frances. Members of the staff asked for a performance, so Danforth went out to his car, found some of the hand-held hardwood strips from which he wheedles amazing sounds, and returned to give them an impromptu holiday bones concert. "I'm in better shape than I've ever been," says Danforth, who suffered who heart attacks in late 1982. "I'm in my second childhood now."
