| This is my first effort at building this web page. After I got a bit started, It became more work than I was willing to do and I could not get any help and few relitives seemed interested, so I stopped. Many links don't work. Many graphics are missing. I am sorry. Some thinks do work, like the picture album. Maybe someday, I will get energy and start up again, or maybe one of my cuzins will say "Hey, I could help you with that.". In the mean time, I am sorry but this web site is not very good. Eugene Schanzenbach Sr.'s younger brother was Father Benedict Schanzenbac h of the "Capuchin" Order (they invented cappuccino.) Here is his eulogy. |
