Growing up with the Jindrich family was an adventure. Mr & Misses Jindrich where two of the most unpretentious and generous people I know. How they managed to produce five wild and crazy children is a mystery. But I sure had a great time with them all. Well, accept for the time Mr. Jindrich reached over and slapped my leg real hard just for giggles and grins. I still have the hand print. Misses Jindrich worked her hole life until retirement,it seemed. Come to think about it, I only saw her in the mornings? She was always friendly,even when tired. Maybe now she can rest with Mr. Jindrich forever in peace. God bless the Jindrich family!
