My parents (Anton and Mary Urban of Jarrettown, Philly and Ambler, PA) were friends with both your grandfather and grandmother and your grandfather's brother Percy and his wife Hattie. When I was a child, your grandfather helped a group of us dig a pool on his property next to the creek. When I married my late husband David in 1948, your grandfather and grandmother presented us with a still life oil painting of a vase of flags, tulips and lilacs as a wedding gift. Percival and Hattie had the frame made for it as a wedding gift. After 67 years, it still hangs on my wall. Good memories. Fondly, Eileen
