A request…
A post written by the sorely missed Lyn about the Mexican Mennonites back in October 2006 is still one of the top Mex Files (by number of hits) of all times. As it should be. It was a great post on a not-well understood minority . The comment left last night might be of interest to someone, or someone might know someone who knows someone who can help with this project:
I’m working on a project with a local mennonite radio broadcasting station on putting together children’s programming that will be broadcast in low german. I am looking for stories, etc. that would be suitable. The people who listen to this station have deep roots in Mexico. Can anyone out there direct me to any resources that might help?

Thanks for posting this. I put her in contact with the Mennonite Museum and Cultural Center in Chihuahua. In case anybody else wants to contact them, the number is 625 583 1895. It is on the Kilometro 10 highway outside of Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua.
