My memories of Uncle Herman and Aunt Louise go back to the Farm located
South of
St. Joseph, Mo.
My Mother and I would go to the Farm several times a year and stay for 2 or
3 days. We would always go for the
Fourth of July because
we could have fire works and Uncle Herman always had a good supply of fire
works. We could set off the fire works out in the yard at dusk and enjoy
the evening. Another good time was had in the Fall of the year when the
crops were harvested there was a
Square Dance held at
the House. A Neighbor by the name of Kyle Foster called the Square Dance and
some of the other Neighbors furnished the Music. A good time was had by all
and there was a
keg of beer
on tap and us kids could always find a cup or glass with some beer it. I
always enjoyed visiting and playing with Junior ( Herman, Jr. ) Helen, Betty
and Cookie. I have a lot of good memories of the Farm and Uncle Herman and
Aunt Louise. Thanks for letting Me share some of the good times of the
past.

I have a lot of memories of grandma and pa. In fact all my or most of mine
are of them and my childhood at the Kerbers'.... me and Lynn were always
together in fact 2nd graded went to her school and grandma gave me a round
cookie tin with a handle for my lunchbox and
of course the kids made fun of me and it but loved it. She also gave us
peanut butter kisses
between or b4 Halloween
as they were from the previous Halloween but we didn't mind. And of course
the pin curls, deep freeze room and the funny slimmey soap she made. She and
all the Kerbers' gave me the love and support I needed and I still think of
it all and love them still. And the cake Aunt Cookie made me wasn't very old
but remember it and her she was so sweet to me as Aunt Helen was and Uncle
Herman.
Love to you all

family member to all of us who accept her as a cousin)
