Kathryn R. Stevens in letter to Kenneth M. Reim, 8 Aug 1996, stated "At the
Hanke reunion (summer 1996 in Nebraska), we had as our quests Ernst and Joy
Scheunemann from Spring Hill, Kansas.  Ernst grew up in Cordeshagen, and just
missed having to fight in Hitler's army because he was not old enough.  He
immigrated to the US in the 1950's.  He knew of nearby Schmollenhagen, as a
small cluster of homes rather than an organized town, and knew that there were
Treptows living there, although he did not know them."

"Our grandfather's second wife was actually distantly related to him.  He
remained in Kolberg on the Baltic Sea.  He had known her earlier.  She used to
work as a cook on a large farm in Pomerania."  Further stated "Grandfather
Treptow was able to meet my brother (Kurt), he had come over in 1906 (from the
United States), lived with us in Barmen for a while, and then went to Kolberg
to marry."
