It's not much, but I thought I'd mention it. My wife's father was raised in a hotel in Frostburg called "The Gonter Hotel". An old Mrs. Gonter and her son still lived in the hotel during his youth. She was killed in a tragic set of circumstances involving her son leaving the parking brake off in a car with her in it. The Gonters had sold the Hotel to my wife's great grandfather at that point, but still owned a ski lodge near the town at that time. She was killed near that ski lodge. That's all I have on Gonter.
