The Stahl place

The Stahl's moved into this house when they retired, sometime in the 70's. About 10 years ago (or more) they left to be near their daughter as they could no longer care for the place. It has been empty all these years but just recently I found out that the neighbor next door has bought the property. They have children and grandchildren so hopefully someone will be living here again. 

Extra was a photo my niece posted on Facebook a few years ago that popped up today for Veteran's Day.  It is my father (front and center with his hand in his pocket) standing in front of the Arc de Triomphe.  He was a Physician during WWII and although he saw and treated soldiers he was never in battle. He lived a long happy life, fortunately.
