Hi, Janis,
Thanks for the information. The birth dates of your uncles are close to my birth date. So, I think we are talking about the same persons. As I said previously, I think I heard about your uncles from my friends who went to Saint Mary's High School in St. Louis. My friends graduated from that school in 1970 and 1971.
My father, Mike Schimmer (born in 1918) and his family were members of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Soulard. My father went this church's elementary school. They lived on Shenandoah near Broadway.
Thanks again.
Gary Schimmer, Chattanooga, TN
