Reunion May 20, 2017
Family gathering May 20th, 2017 at Robert's Steak house located on Hwy 95 and I-10 highway, just north Highway I-10at 11am. Tommy made reservations for a private room and the food and service was great.. We gathered for lunch at 11:00 am at Robert's Steak House and about 12:30 we headed to the old Flato house for the Official Texas Historic Marker dedication ceremony for Friedrich Wilhelm Flato. There we met any other descendants of the Flato family at the historical marker ceremony as described by Judy earlier:
"A Texas Historical Marker dedicated to F. W. Flato will be unveiled in Flatonia on Saturday, May 20th at 1pm. It will be in front of the home that once was the Flato family home at 830 Penn Street, Flatonia. The granddaughter of the people who now own the home applied for and got an official marker from the Texas Historical Commission. They would love to have some Flatos in attendance for the ceremony, so I am sending this out to you and hope that you will let other Flato descendants know about it. When I receive the official notification, I will forward that to you as well, but thought I would get this much out in case you want to mark your calendar."
A slide show of the event was created and distributed to those in the Amsler family that attended this event.
The following note was sent to Judy pate curator of Arni Museum where visitors can view the slide show of that event at the museum. Our note to Judy Pate is as follows:

Judy Pate:
Enclosed are three DVDs of slide show covering the Texas Historical Marker dedication ceremony for F. W, Flato on May 20, 2017. One DVD is for you and the museum. Please pass ones labeled “Ana Allcia Estrada” and “Estrada family” and relay our appreciation for their work and hospitality in supporting this event. The DVD for the Estrada family has a special caption at the end of the slide show expressing our appreciation for the family’s hospitality.
We thank you for informing and keeping us posted on this event. It was very enjoyable and time well spent. Within the slide show we tried to give credit to all who worked on making this event successful. The only person I was unable to identify was the lady to right of the Mayor and Ana during the Mayor’s part in the program.
We thank you also for all the time and effort that you invested in this project and we always enjoy our visits to your museum. We are very impressed with Ana Alicia Estrada, who worked many hours to have this event come to fruition. We are also thankful for the Estrada family and the demonstration of their hospitality as we expressed in the Estrada family’s copy of the DVD.
For the Amsler family,
