Sincere condolences go to family and friends of my first cousin, Dick Zahn.
We first met in 1930 when the Zahn ‘men’ from Long Beach CA  did the grand tour and visited all of the families of my parents.  When I retired in 1983 and started shaking the trees for family connections, Dick and Dot accepted my VW Westphalia on their pad at 86 Wabank in Millersville.  They furnished many a meal and served as my guide to Lancaster County PA.  Dick, as a former lineman and telephone supervisor knew every pole and path in the county.  I have his voice on tape as HE discovered the graves of our Bavarian immigrant great-grandfather, John Zahn, wife, and five babes [sixteen children by two wives!] at the Mt. Hope Cemetery in Drumore.
     My three first cousins, Elizabeth and John in Lancaster and Dick would be nervous upon my annual arrivals.  I had the documents to prove relationship to many of their close neighbors, newsboys, caddies, etc.  The old-timers of Lancaster prove the concept of ‘six degrees of separation’–we are all married to cousins, close or distant. I obviously earned the nickname ‘Digger’.
     Dick was an avid hunter and Deleware crabber, and he participated in all the activities of his wife’s extended Martin families.  They provided special care of Dot and Dick in their final years; THANKS AGAIN.  Happy Hunting, Dick!
