This is one of the few photographs that I have of my Maternal Grand Uncle and Aunt. It was taken on the front porch of their home on Grant Blvd in Milwaukee, WI. Unfortunately, they were estranged from their adopted son Paul. He moved to California, and they did not see much of their granddaughter. Uncle Abby passed away in 1959 at age 73 and Aunt Alma passed away in 1966 at age 69.

I have not been able to find any additional information on Paul Reichardt. My mother and Paul spent much time together in their youth as the families were very close. My mother was heartbroken over the estrangement.

I have very little information regarding this photograph. Once my mother retired, she went through boxes of photographs and created historical photo albums. She made one for myself and one for my brother. I am posting and commenting on the photographs from this album.
 
Ray was my father's nephew. My father was very close to Ray and his brother Ed. This is a photograph from Ray and Marjorie's wedding day. Ray and Marjorie had several children, and they all were very intelligent. Unfortunately, I can not remember the names of the children, but there is more information about Ray's life below in the Obituary. I have asked my relatives for more information and will post whatever I receive.
