Susan: Am going an extra mile on this one for you. Will see what I can find out from up to date to whatever I come up with. The last name Kuntz you mentioned is a very well known name in New Oreleans and Also Kuntler is also a variation of it. They are known prominent memembers of the American Bar Association. I am sure one was D.A. of New Orleans at one time. All of this off the top of my head. Forgot to mention, I also lived and grew up both in New Orleans and S. Mississippi. So did not have to research this one to give this information. Knew it off top of my melon. No talking about my melon now mind ya.
