Breithaupt Family Photos

Aug. 19, 2015 --  had a visit from my cousin, Hannah (Helbling) Martin who is my cousin on my father's side; the daughter of his sister. She had some old family photos which she gave me. most of them were pictures of my father and/or sots of him and his sister,Virginia. There is also a nice formal portrait of my grandfather, Fred Breithaupt and one that is, for me, very enlightening.

George Lemert

My full name is George Lemert Breithaupt, named for my father and great grandfather. I had always been told the name Lemert was the name of and old family friend. One of the pictures is a shot of my father and my aunt with George Lemert. So there is the "legend: in the flesh, so to speak.
My cousin was in from Colorado to visit her mother, Virginia  who lives in Dresden OH and is going on 100! I told her I would get a digital voice recorder before her next visit and would talk to er and get some of the stories she gets from her mother. This is something I regret not doing with my parents and several aunts and uncles.
A sad note to this mpost. My Aunt Virginia passed away peacefully just a couple of weeks short of her 100th birthday. R.I.P. Aunt Virginia. Say hello to Dad if you are in the same place!!!
