Hello Merle,
It was a pleasant surprise to discover your site and your reference to your aunt Maud Grinnell Steadman. Although she passed away in the late '60s, and her son "Tex" (Malcolm?) did so some time thereafter, I am a cousin to her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, on the Grinnell side. I guess I'm writing this because she was a great lady, and should be remembered. She was always nice and had a ready smile. As you work on your web site, I hope that you will be able to add photos at some time.
All the best to you and yours, Jerry Wahlert Mundelein, IL J_Wahlert@att.net
