As you may recall, if you were at the World Wide Gathering of the Pulskamps, Birgit Pulskamp from Germany gave us a little poll to fill out. The following are the results of that poll. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know how many Pulskamps completed the form, but it provides an interesting bit of information about our wonderful family. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
