More good news. Last week I received an email from Steve Stembel, the grandson of Gilbert Stembel who was the brother of my grandfather, Grover Stembel. They were raised in Wheatfield, Indiana. My grandfather died young and his wife eventually moved her family to Elkhart, Indiana. Gilbert moved to Chicago.
I'm glad Steve got on touch. I don't know very much about his family because both of our families weren't very good at keeping in touch, but I hope now I can fill in some of the missing information in Gilbert's family.
Steve's dad went by the name of Oren Stembel, the same name my dad went by and the same name as me. Steve's dad owned a recording studio and recorded a lot of local rock and roll bands. You can read more about it here.
