He grew up in Redlands, Ca with 11 brothers and sisters. His name? Richard Elmo Egelhoff. we were looking around on the internet and i typed in gramp's dad's name ( Elmo Valentine Egelhoff... wife Gladys Nadeene (Basom) Egelhoff) and found your message posted. Richard has raised me from a baby along with my biological father's mother, Helen Egelhoff. he is both my father and grandfather. i ask him questions from time to time, about his life growing up, his brothers and sisters, his parents; but maybe a week or two ago, i asked about his children. " maybe they wonder about you" but he had no idea where any of them were. i know how it is to wonder about your family, so post another message, or get in touch. Janna Stevens- Richard Egelhoff
