We remember how he was the organizer of the reunion in 1998
at the Fowler Park...Many of my 9 cousins and their spouses had not seen the Wieber house on Wright Rd. that Anthony (Carl's grandfather) had built. in 1888...Carl had spoken to the present owners and they opened their home to us and how thrilled we were to
be in the family home that was still being used and enjoyed by a young family with children. Mary (McDowell) Bissonette
