Hi Donna Doklan,

Rheta would be the sister of my grandmother, Gladys Margaret Tinsman .
Gladys was
married to Russell Myers. They had 3 children, one was my father Charles
Russell
Myers. Gladys and Russell divorced, don't really know the circumstances,
but would
love to find out if Rheta can and would be willing to share. I know
Gladys had a
child before she married Russell, the childs' name was Betty. I don't
know who the father
was. Gladys married John Pysher, her 2nd husband, and they moved to
Florida, where
she died in 1943.

My Dad, who died this year, wouldn't talk about his childhood much. Any
information
is hard to come by. He was sent to live with Landis and Mary Young after
his mother
left. Anyway, I'm kind of rambling on but you're the first person that
has any info
on the Tinsman family first hand.

Is there any way I can send a letter to Rheta, or can you pass on my
interest in the
Tinsman family?

Thanks for any help,
Gary Myers
