It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Captain Walter Werner, which occurred on March 5th, 2026. We will miss him dearly.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends and former and co-workers. I, on a personal note had the pleasure of being his chauffeur in Ladder 151 in Forest Hills, Queens, NY from 1988 to 1992.

christmas on the danube, an adventure of a lifetime...
19 embarked from JFK for a 9 day Trip
9 Steuben Members and their wives and 1 other made the trip
down the Blue Danube River, from Wurzburg to Vienna. Some even stayed a bit longer in Vienna and some continued onto Prague.
Along the way we remembered George Lonergan who passed away on 9/27/25. His wife and good friend Bart Lang did not make the trip.
She told us she would like to go on future trips, of which we are planning for 2026 & 2027, when we go back to Germany-see the details of both trips on our Travel Page.
More on that later but for now, >click here< to see all of the pictures
of Christmas On The Danube.
Ps: Our Next Trip will be "The Rhine River Trip" beginning in Amsterdam and ending in Basal, Switzerland with an extension into Munich for 2 nights to enjoy the Oktoberfest, that will commence in September 2027. Full details coming soon...
