July 22, 2004
Dr. Uwe Küster Chair of the German-American Dialog Center Magdeburg delivered the following statement:
"We are extremely pleased that the State Department in Berlin has appointed Mr. Doug Berry, president of Sister Cities of Nashville and "spiritual father" of the Magdeburg-Nashville Sister Cities relationship, Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany in Nashville.
I cannot imagine a better ambassador for Magdeburg and Saxony-Anhalt in Nashville.
In recent years he has created many bridges to understanding with his personal involvement and commitment. His attachment to and fascination with Germany and especially Magdeburg and its residents is undiminished.
In the name of our members and friends, I heartily congratulate Doug Berry. We wish him as well as ourselves continued success in our common undertakings."
