This is about as offtopic as you can get here on Hockey Forums, but it is a story that caught me long ago while doing a book report for a Jr high class back in the 70's. I won't totally bore you guys, but I will post a link to a great site that has loads of pictures and stories.

I highly recommned the story of this family and their struggles to anyone who will listen, it is truly a fascinating story.
