A note on the press name:
My uncle, grandfather (Albert Schudel), and his father before him, ran a printing press in Riehen called Schudeldruck that printed various publications including a newpaper. Wiesedruck is the name I gave my press. Druck literally means press in German. The Wiese is the stream that runs by the gardens and wildlife lands near my grandparent's home in Riehen, Switzerland on the outskirts of Basel. It is also the stream that marks the border between Switzerland and Germany, and for Jewish refugees during the World War II, it was a swim to potentially escape persecution.
