Joan and Bob: We were very sorry to hear of your Mother's death, please accept our sincere sympathy. Memories of Schellhase's Restaurant on Howard St. in Baltimore will always be with us; my Mother and Father took me there as a very little girl and I believe the last time was in the early 1950's.
God Bless...Don and Jean Eckhardt
