Today is my grandfather's birthday - Walter Lenz - born January 27, 1904. For you newer readers - a lot of what you see on this website - came from him - he was a city garbage man for many years and was the kind of guy who saved everything.
He is standing here with his sister Margaret (Lenz) Gloor at her home in Nanty Glo. They were both deaf - Margaret was born that way and my grandfather had lost most of his hearing by the time he was in his twenties....but that didn't stop either of them from working or raising families at a time when that was considered a major disability.
