A PICTORIAL JOURNEY

The Stahl Family through the years . .

Brothers and sisters , allow me to humbly invite you to take this "journey" with me , as we go back in time with the Stahl family .

The photos here are just a start , and I will be adding more as I obtain them from family members . I will also do my best to present them in chronological order . On many of them where I have no date(s) listed , means I simply don't know when they were taken , and I may put an approximate date(s) , until I can verify the respective dates with my siblings .

I also want to take this opportunity to say "Thank-You" to my brothers , Jerry , Phil , and John , for contributing many of the photos shown here - THANKS GUYS . .

Again , this is just a start , and I hope to be adding more as time goes by .

Enjoy the "journey" , my friends , and may God bless and keep you all - always .

Yours in Christ - Pastor Mike



This is MY DAD ! He's about 2-years old here , so that would mean this was taken in 1922 .
