Ralph and Robert were born on a farm near Belfield, ND.
To my knowledge information what Sister Reinhardt quoted is
correct. |
|
|
We grew up north of Belfield, ND on a farm. I left when
I was 20 years old, joined my sister Elizabeth in San francisco.
I have 4 children, 8 grandchildren, 5 great-grand children
and live with my son, Richard, in Missoula, MT.

Sister Reinhardt Hecker celebrated her Diamond Jubilee June

|
Thank you for waiting. Sorry I have no further information
for you, as I am 13 years younger than Sister Reinhardt. I
was the baby when we left Russia. Sister said, "they almost
lost me" as mother was nursing me and she was very ill. The
nurses gave me sugar water, as I was starving. |
|
|
Glory be I am 84 years old now and healthy. Thank God.
