Probst Grandchildren

Memories of the family as told by Glen W. Probst:

Probst Grandchildren, 1957

These are some of Karl and Cree's grandchildren back in the early-to-mid 1950's. At top is Lynn Probst (Bernard) next is Craig Probst (with boxing glove), next to him is his older brother Michael Probst, (both Gene's) and the next one is Max "Buzz"Probst (Bernard). The two in front are Bill Probst (Gene) and Allen Probst (Bernard) I took this picture in front of Bernard's home in Midway.

This is my oldest nephew Lynn Probst on the left. He's Bernard's oldest son. Lynn passed away a number of years ago at about age 46. I'm on the right riding Blaze, the horse that I grew up with. Dad bought it as a small colt when I was about five. You can see our 1949 Ford Victoria Hardtop Convertible behind us. It was cream and turquoise in color. Also, the old house is covered with snow. Notice the pot rock construction of the walls. Those walls are about a foot or so thick, and since the pot rock is porous, it kept the house cool in the summer and warmer in the winter. We stuccoed the house some years later. Notice the icicles above the upstairs window.
