But they did have to escape from the Nazis, etc etc. Her autobiography is very good and I remember he proposed to her when she was up a ladder putting decorations on a Christmas tree. I read the book when I was in my early teens.<BR/>I see from the time line that there were definitely 7 children. I was slightly confused about the mention of 5 in the Industrial Revolutionaries...but it had been a long time since I had read Maria Von Trapp's book.Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-19698895750356898452008-02-21T14:39:00.000+00:002008-02-21T14:39:00.000+00:00I will admit to loving the movie and not knowing t...I will admit to loving the movie and not knowing the actual story...so if I read your post right, she left 5 children and not 7? And that Maria happened to the family well before WWII? <BR/><BR/>I am afraid that if I know the history, maybe the movie won't be the same...kind of like when my mum read a biography of Bing Crosby and then couldn't watch White Christmas any more....Donna Alwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107885864783850332noreply@blogger.com
