Thanks, Ann! Do you have any information you'd care to share about Mr. Dreyfors? His full name, birth and death dates, any stories about him? Best of all photographs? If so, send me an email at mwanner2@gmail.com. We'd love to do a page on him!
- An item in the Lake Placid News of January 17, 1936 reads: "Mrs. Alvin Dreyfors and her two children, Miss Juana and Master John, of Buenos Aires, are at the Club [presumably the Lake Placid Club] for a ten-day visit. The children are experiencing their first snow and ice and too."
- An item in the Adirondack Enterprise of May 29, 1948: "Dr. Madeleine K. Dreyfors and her son, John, have arrived from Washington, D. C, to spend a short time at the Hotel Saranac while visiting friends here. They are former residents."
And a J. Dreyfors appears in reports of various track and skiing meets in the early 1940s. Is this your family?
Thanks again, — Marc Wanner
