Greatgrills: I am out east on the bald hill area...about a mile out of the city limits.
Beam boys: No sisters, or at least mom never mentioned I had a sister...actually all my family is from Hermann....very close to you. Great Grandpa and my dads side were steamboat river captains and the first mayor of Hermann was my great grandpa. The Heckmans and Wohlts were the steamboat families that did very well for many years in steamboats.
Love Hermann and the Washington Area.
Small world!
