After a 45 minute delay........We finally made it to Philadelphia!  Bill picked us up at the airport and we proceeded to our first destination.  The Bond House in the historic district. The Bond House was built in 1769 (20 years after Georg Christoph Horold immigrated with his family).

We sat in the parlor with our glasses of wine and Bill's pictures sharing stories.




After awhile, we walked across the street for dinner at the City Tavern, established in 1775. The staff all dress in period clothing and the recipes are historic as well.  Delicious!!!


Following dinner we walk the neighborhood admiring the buildings and continuing our story sharing. We were in awe of the Revolutionary War Museum. Words of the Constitution are posted on the building. ".....all men are created equal....."

We ended up at a park with a monument commemorating immigration.  (Georg Christoph Horoldt immigrated with his family in 1743)

The rest of the evening found us again hanging out in the parlor sharing stories of growing up in the Herrold family.

Antidotes:
- Aunt Donna was significant support person to Bill and Lorrie.
- Grandma & Grandpa Herrold were significant in all of our lives in different ways.
- Bill and Teri liked grandma Herrold's succetash (corn & lima beans), Lorrie did not.
- Grandpa Katzenbach (our great grandfather) was a huge man!
- Grandpa Herrold (our grandpa) looked very much like his brother.
- Grandpa delivered mail, work the farm of course before going to veterinary school (OSU). He then worked for the government and moved to various places across the country. (from his work history).
- We all remember the Herrold gatherings down grandma and grandpa's basement.
- We are blessed and proud to be a Herrold.
