Dr. Inge Loy-English. I just have to share that combination.
Alois Loy was born in 1860 and was elected "Bürgermeister" (Mayor) of Gottschee on May 20, 1889 and continued in that capacity for 33 years. During his administration he worked to get train service for Gottschee and in 1893 a train line from Ljubljana to Gottschee was a reality. In 1896 Mayor Alois Loy had an electric powerplant built and also the city waterworks were established. Alois Loy died on July 1, 1923 and at that time the people of Gottschee stated that his diligence on behalf of the people of the city will always be remembered.
