Another Happy GSMC Client

            At the end of April the GSMC Library received a call from Alan Tentschert, who lives in St. Louis, MO. 

            His Great Grandfather was here in 1860 for a brief period of time, and he wanted someone to do research for him.  GSMC President Barbara Hutchinson contacted  him and started researching for him as time permitted. She completed his request and found some important data for him, but not all was Marion County, IN, information.

          Last week she informed him of what she found. He said that he was coming to Indianapolis on June 15, and they met at 1:00 at the GSMC Library.  Barry Levitt was able to meet Mr. Tentschert briefly also.

          The meeting went really well, and he was very pleased with what we found. He also asked us to follow up looking for a couple other items. Mr.Tentschert  gave us an $100.00 donation for GSMC. Yay!!
