Due to our solar/wind cutover on Brockway mountain, today's Shoebox Memory is delayed until this afternoon. A special good morning to our friends on the east coast, bracing for some rough sailing.

Good morning, Charlie! I join you in wishing the best for those in the path of the storm. Son and daughter-in-law are on the road travelling up through VA to PA today. Drive safely, "kids"!:)

A bit delayed, here’s our follow-up to last week’s Shoebox Memory from Paul Meier:

These are two 1916 photos of Activities at the C&H Gun Club. These illustrate the club was more that a men's group.

The top photo is the Kraemer family at the Gun Club clubhouse in Delaware. My Great-grandfather Anton Haun is the fellow with the center with a vest. Nicola Kraemer was married to Anton's sister-in-law and boarded with the Haun's before the Kraemers family got so large. Old timers will remember Hap & Lou's tavern in Copper City, Hap was one of the older boys.

(the second picture): Women at the Delaware Clubhouse. L to R. My Great-grandmother Annie Limbach Haun, one of Annie's sisters maybe Louisa, my Grandmother, Clara Long Haun, another Limbach sister maybe Kate, Dina (Albertina) Sibilsky Gipp, Katie McCormick?, Etta McCormick?, & Mrs. Welch.

Photos by Fredrick John Haun - he also used the reverse - John F. Haun which seemed to be very common back then.

Those ladies look like they mean business.

I wouldn't want to argue with 'em, Alex! :>
Happy to report the "kids" made it home to PA with no problems....now I can rest tonight.:)

In the second picture all the ladies seem to be in good spirits (is that a keg tap the center lady is holding?) The next lady is holding a coffee pot but at first look I thought it was a large stein. Could be Miller time.

Dina is holding a keg tap. Those were definitely pre-prohibition times!

Now, now, fellas, they're probably just drinking the 'recipe'. ;)

Paul, thank you for sharing.
