Swearing In

It has finally happened! On Wednesday April 2, 2008 at 12:30 pm I have officially become a Swiss citizen with the three small words of "Je le promets".
It took only one and a half years to go through the naturalization process and had to wait only 3 days for the new biometric passport. :-)

Origin: Corsier-sur-Vevey (the same as Charlie Chaplin's)

I maintain my US Citizenship as well. To my ancestors: this was for you!
