  1. Thanks for the mention Chris. Thanks also for the lak to the Patrick O'Sullivan story. There are quite a few links with him or his family to my Kunkels. I have a hypothesis, unprovable, that George Kunkel may have worked for him in the early days (due to a reference P O'S wrote about GK's son.

  2. I saw your post at the last minute and just had to add it. I hope others stop and think about what they use and what they could add to that. The Patrick O'Sullivan story is interesting, even more so now that I know that there is a connection. I look forward to hearing more.
