MM 100... Grandpa Schlauder

 Last week, the home that Allyn grew up in was sold. As he went back there a couple of days ago to finish gathering up some of the last boxes at the house, he found some awesome pictures and treasures.
Arthur Schlauder, Allyn's dad, was such a wise, kind, fun, honest, good man. 
Everyone who knew Art Schlauder loved and respected him. Oh, we miss him.
Allyn's dad was a great athlete in High School and college at the University of Iowa. We always heard about the records he set in track and field and how fast he was. A couple of his records stood for 30 years or more. 
It's so fun to see these pictures and old newspaper clippings.
 Look at the date... 1936!!!
The kids loved finding out that Grandpa Schlauder was a football star too!

I love these pictures! What a treasure! Allyn's parents had to be amazing to have a son like him!
