My Daddy - Hero, Friend, Confidant, Teacher
In a small German village on New Year's Eve 1903, my father, William Frederick was born. He was the oldest of thirteen children. Life was challenging and after his brother was born, my grandfather traveled to the New World. Grandpa worked hard to save enough money to bring his family to America.
