    1. Re: [KIMMEL] Kimmel Dairy at Valley View Pa.
    2. Hello; My name is Warren E. Kimmel, I was born in Valley View, Pa on Jan 8 1929. I worked at Kimmels Dairy after schhol, weekends and between my times in the USMC, possibly I may have handled this particular bottle. I delivered milk, ice, and delivered to the Kimmel booth at the Gratz Fair. I joined the USMC in 1946 and was called back during the Korean War. I have been back to the Valley on occassion, I have a brother and two sisters still living Valley View and Hegins. When we were growing up we had no interest in genealogy and I only remember my Dad telling us that Allen Kimmel was a distant cousin, his wifes name was Eva and they had one daughter named Nancy who married a local boy named Bill Whitman, they moved somewhere near the Harrisburg area. My Grandfather was Aaron Kimmel, he had a farm and butcher shop in Sacramento, he took the produce and meats to market in a horse drawn ice cooled wagon, he would start very early in the morning and not get home til very late at nite. I dont know your connection with the Kimmel name or with the milk bottle, but should you want to part with the bottle I will buy it from you, you name the price. The rarrest Kimmel botles were the ones with a baby face on the neck of the bottle, this face was molded right into the glass of the bottle. I am late with this responce or request because we just got home frome visiting our daughter and family, for a month and a couple days in Alamogordo New Mexico. I would like to hear from youregarding the bottle and your Kimmel connection. Sincerely Warren Kimmel @ WEKIML or SpecialK2B, both at aol.com
