Who We Are

My Sisters and I spent a good deal of time talking about our ancestry and found that one of the more accomplished and dynamic persons in our lineage was that of our Great Grandfather.  Growing up we heard bits and pieces about his business which started with the picture of a factory that had his name on it.  Back in 1996 we made the trip to Tampa to investigate further.  While driving through the Ybor City Historic District, the building became immediately recognizable with its distinct 9 gable dormers found on both sides of the structure.

We stopped in and met the owners and were given a tour of the facility.  For us, it was exciting just to know that at one point, we had family members operating a business in that building with 200 employees over a 15-year period.

Fast forward to 2021 and thoughts of assembling some of the information we gathered for a website came to mind.  So, we figured, what better way to ensure someone’s legacy than by making them known on the World Wide Web?

A very special thanks to Carrie and Cathy for their contribution and support in this project.
