Aaah - you made my day, Bron, as you usually do! People's stories are just so interesting, and one never knows where they will lead. Got an e-mail through SCGS a couple days ago from a guy named Kerrihard (what's THAT heritage?) descended from Kerschard - okay - that's Germanic. At one point they were in what was then a little burg called Red Oak, Iowa, a sparsely populated Midwestern state just north of Missouri. I found a History of Montgomery County (where Red Oak is) and there are 3 upstanding guys named Kerrihard in there - and a whole lot of really hilarious, colorful characters, including one gay blade who was the toast of polite society and very popular, until somebody discovered that he was a woman (didn't say how)- next seen in Alaska........... I know Red Oak solely from a lunch stop there on my first long, wonderful, life-changing trip with a friend named Georgette to CA and back to St. Louis a long time ago. I asked for a soda - what? A soda pop - what? A Pepsi - oh, you mean sugar water! It was the wild west when this history was written, about 1850-1860. And I hope that Mr. Ladzik will pass it along - RAOGK style. He's in a good place to do that, right? How did the travelers make out? Maureen In a message dated 8/14/2009 7:18:32 A.M.
