Dear Russell:
I have contacted Sandy Jakel RE Ludwig (Louis) Jekel, and hope you don't mind that I am contacting you too. My wife, Cate, and I are writing a book about Henry Lewis Adrien Jekel, architect, son of Frederick P. Jekel. Henry started in Buffalo, designed skyscrapers in eastern cities, then ended up out here in Riverside, CA, where he finished his long career designing high end houses in Romantic Revival styles such as Spanish Colonial and Tudor Revival.
I see from one of your posts that you have photos of Louis and his wife. We're looking for more info on Henry's father and mother, his uncle Louis, and historic photos of Frederick and his family.
Would you be able to help us? My email address is
vincate@att.net, and my cell # is 951-544-0960.
Best regards,
Dr. Vince Moses
