Last week I posted about the Swiss Consulate in Kansas City. While preparing for our move to Zürich I discovered the Consulate is actually Andre's Chocolates, a business owned by the Swiss-American Bollier family.
When I ate in their restaurant the waitress informed me there is no longer a Swiss Consulate in Kansas City due to an illness in the family.
I am happy to report that the information was incorrect, as evidenced by the following e-mail I received from one of the family...
First of all I would like to thank you for kind words about not only Andre's but also the Bollier family. We always strive for excellence in everything we do.
I do have to make a correction on the information you were given while eating here at Andre's. Marcel Bollier was diagnosed with MS a number of years ago, but is dealing with it quite well.
The Swiss Consulate in Kansas City continues to exist and will continue until the Swiss government says other wise. I do realize this misunderstanding is not your fault. I simply thought you would want to know that Marcel is doing well and again thank you for your kind words.
Sincerely,
Rene Bollier (3rd generation)

That is ultra cool! Our experience with the Irish Consulate of Vancouver hasn't been so nice.. I'd hope in a heartbeat all consulates treated people that way!!!
Feel lucky for sure...
