EXCERPT FROM A LETTER TO FRANK T. RUMREICH FROM RUDOLPH RUMREICH, DATED JUNE 25, 1967

Likewise could not get my brain a working to remember where the picture of this GREAT AGGRESSIVE MAN (grandpa) was. Finally found it, in one of my old books where I keep old pictures. So I am enclosing two others.

The one with the old man shaking his finger is grandpa. After a big jack rabbit hunt. Pointing his finger at your dad. No doubt bawling him out. Sitting on the ground below your dad is A.C. Lovcik. Below grandpa is John Kolar. The young fellow with rabbit on back may be uncle Cy or Doc.

Grandpa sure was a go-getter. Had a great deal of foresight. And boy he made all his off-springs work, and work hard. He was the one to enjoy a little life. Such as hunting, had his own fish pond. Own bowling alley. He had an orchard, large garden. Was a taxidermist. A very versatile man. He started the roller mill in Pisek, set up a drug store, furniture store, hardware store, had farms. And was in Europe a number of times, always bringing back some relatives to start anew in the U.S.A.

He sure used his mind. Such as getting land for just planting trees. To obtain a deed. At that time called a TREE CLAIM. The part of town on which the high school is built. Grandpa got the deed for this land by planting trees. I have the deed signed by President McKinley.

I could go on and write more, but some things have slipped my mind. As we were pretty young kids when grandpa passed away. Most of what I know was told to me by my parents.

Now the other picture, you may have one I do not know, is the four of you holding the Apple on left side, above you Myself, next to me on right Louis Lovcik and below Louis, Clestin Rumreich.

Your children and grandchildren may get a BANG as to what their daddy and grandpa looked like. I just do not recall how old we all were, but do know we were all born the same year of 1906. According to what we are wearing, we might have been under two years. As you remember, girls and boys wore long dresses for many a year.

Hope these bring back some of your memories.

I am also enclosing a part of your family tree back to great grandma and great grandpa. It might interest you. Was told when young, that Domminik was a BIG WHEEL in Europe.

Frank, you may keep the card showing your dad and grandpa. As for the building behind them, that's the house where grandpa kept all the stuff for mounted animals. Too bad that not much, if any, is left. We used to have an enclosed glass display, made by grandpa. With mounted birds, game birds, native birds including types of grass crops. Even a humming bird.
