" I regret that we never took a tape player when we visited Mom, your grand mother. As she got older she started to recall and tell us all sorts of stories of the family. She didn't know much about her mother's side of the family. She didtell me that her mother Katherine Drevis was born in Gremany of a wealthy land owning family. When Katherine was 13 her parents were killed in an accident. The oldest daughter married the hired estate overseer. They then forced all the restof the children to leave the property. Your great grandmother managed to get to the USA. She worked in hotels and one of her jobs was to skin eels. I don't recall why or how she came to San Francisco. There she married Henry Speetzen in1873. I have their wedding picture...too big to scan."
