Dolores and Carl in Pittsburg -- August 2008

Important Change! I have had to redo much of my website (details unimportant). What this means to YOU is that the 'back to home page' links on all my sites all need to be changed, and that will take me some time. In the meantime, please just use the 'back' function on your browser. Sorry.

Welcome to my website. I created these pages using Dreamweaver web design program, Adobe Photoshop, and Photoframer. Anything you see on these pages can be copied/downloaded. Photo resolution here is very low so the site doesn't take forever to load. If you want copies of photos, let me know -- I'll send them to you in a higher resolution. Bookmark this page and come again -- I will continue to add to most of these pages, especially the Photo Pages (including earlier adventures and trips).

In Memoriam

On October 19, 2007, we lost our wonderful sister, Marilyn June Wolfe Knackert, after a three-year battle with lung cancer. Marilyn was born June 30, 1946, in Milwaukee, the third of five daughters of Merle and Eunice Reindl Wolfe. A non-smoker, she leaves her devoted husband, Randy, and three children, Joe Slowikowski, Jeremy Knackert, and Angie Knackert Schultz, her mother Eunice Wolfe, and her four sisters, Dolores Nelson, Diane Wolfe, Bev Braasch, and Janet Nuszbaum, and an extended family. Marilyn was a wonderful, loving, intelligent, hard-working person who contributed so much to what we know about our family history.

NEW!!! I have been scanning and 'doctoring' old photos and slides -- a lifetime's worth -- and I am creating digital annotated photo albums. These sites will be under all the time but will be available for you to see the progress.
