A Christmas card from the Wolfingers, probably also from around 1959. Lets see now - L to R - Bill, Susie, Tommy, and um... I forget the Mom's and Grandpa's name. I do remember that weiner dog though.

Wow. It's a small world, eh? I'm not sure how the Ludwigs and the Wolfingers crossed paths, although my hunch is via Scouting. IIRC, the adults played cards and us four kids got to stay up late and carouse upstairs.
From Sheri: I think the original contact was Boy Scouts.
yeah, there are some 1930's scouting pics that i look at now, and wonder if Bill Wolfinger and Dick Laudenslager are the guys in them.
i always thought when Dad said he knew people thru scouting that he meant 'as fellow scout leaders'. but now i'm thinking he meant he had known them ever since they all were actually Boy Scouts.
No, as I recall, Bill Wolfinger came to Hamburg maybe around 1950, as one of our high school teachers (math?) He was a bachelor, and Ethel Hill was the home ec. teacher, and they met and got married. Later she was a kindergarten teacher. We invited Bill and Ethel to our 50th class reunion in 2002, and they had a marvelous time. He died a few months later.

At Muhlenburg High, we had a similar situation. The (Robert) Steinmetz's. The male teacher came in, met one of the (single) lady teachers, and they got married and continued teaching at MTHS. I never would have guessed that high schools were such hot-beds for romance. :-)
