Location: Johnson City, New York
Circa: 1917

Some of you have asked, "Who are the Rich's?".  Well, the Rich's are dads mother's side of the family.  For those of you who don't know, his mother's name was Adeline Louise Rich (maiden name) and she was born in 1919.  She married Roland J. Hulslander somewhere around 1937 and had gave birth to dad shortly thereafter, when she was just 18 years old. The folks above were her parents, our grandparents.

From an email I received from dad (via Aunt Sylvia Rich), Grandma Amelia died in 1939 of a kidney infection resulting from pregnancy.  Grandpa Don then remarried about 5-6 years later to a woman named, Savina.  According to the email, later on in life, Savina had to place Grandpa Don in a State Hospital because he was suffering from severe dementia and she could no longer take care of him.  This is where he passed away in 1963.  Sadly, Savina was suffering with her own battle with stomach cancer and she passed away the following year in December of 1964.

They lived in Johnson City, New York.
