October 9, 1924 in Sharpsburg, PA / April 1, 2011 June 29, 1943 - September 23, 2011
This
photo of "MAC" (on left) was taken in 2010 during a luncheon
meeting with several other listmembers of the Rootsweb
PAALLEGH geneaology group, at a South Hills Restaurant,
co-ordinated by listmember JR Jamieson.
I came across the above photo of Al Lenkner -- published in The Pittsburgh Press many years ago -- in a fire-related article. I (email)chatted with Al about it and he told me his wife Linda has much better shots in scrapbooks she's been keeping of all his activities.
We will all miss these two, as well as their email bantering which brought smiles to many of our faces! Fortunately those playful exchanges can be revisited by browsing our mailing list archives at:
https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/cgi-bin/search?aop&path=PAALLEGH
. . . simply type their names into the "FROM" search field, Fred C. McCutcheon, or, Al Lenkner
We extend our deepest sympathy to both families, as we silently mourn along with them.
