In regards to Jonathan...I am Tara Treve the Grandaughter of Henry Groesch and
the niece of Larry...My mother really doesn't have many photos of her father
being that her sisters kept everything...it would be a treasure if I could get
a copy of that to frame and give to her. I didn't really know my grandfather
to well being that he passed when I was very young...but have heard many
wonderful stories of him...matter of fact my mother was just speaking of him
tonight about his penmanship and his time cards at the railroad...kind of odd
that I just happen to come across this site tonight! Please get back to me
when you get a chance...if anyone has any good stories of either one of them..I
would love to hear them...Thabk you! ~Tara Treve
