Viktor Schreckengost

One of my great grandfathers were Victor Shreckengost. I don't know him because he died before I was born, but my mom knew him and she said he taught here a little German.

I thank Cousin Viktor for all he has done, what an accomplishment. He followed in the footsteps of many more industrial artisans of the family.
