October 1, 2004
Ambassador and Mrs. Coats – long-time residents of Fort Wayne (IN) - were honoured guests at the annual Gera-Fort Wayne sister city party. The festive occasion included videos of previous visits, rock music, and an American western-style buffet. Among the guests were representatives from the Fort Wayne police department and sister city organization. The Ambassador greeted the audience and heard reports from student exchanges and a recent trip to Fort Wayne by handicapped high schoolers which the Consulate had helped support.
