Lisa and Joe - I'm sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I don't know that we've ever met, but your dad and I were cousins; your grandfather Joe was my mom's (Cecelia Rechner Cusick) older brother. She and he were two of the ten Rechner children whose family ran the bakery on 12th Street. I have lived in Columbus Ohio for over 30 years, but grew up in Springfield. Once again, I'm sorry for your loss. Mary Cusick Dougherty
