Thank you for all of your hard work on this. Great info, fills in many gaps for me :) I think her last child was Darlene though, born after my dad Glenn. This should be easy to verify as she is still living.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, I don't know what I was thinking. I originally left all living relatives off the history and forgot to put her back in her order.
DeleteIn the mid 90's, I was the Deli/Bakery manager at Masontown Foodland. They always spoke highly of your father, unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of meeting him.
