My husband's father also worked there for many years until he had a stroke in 1955. Dave says he also remembers his father, William Durst talking about Frank Pekarski, Brant;s father. I didn't see either of their names. Maybe because they no longer worked there in 1960. Dave's Dad passed away in April 1959.
