Default Re: Digging up history - the companies behind the cards

Zach,

Great post! I've got a similar story to share. Back in 2008 I began researching
information about the Philadelphia Caramel Company. I managed to
locate a grandson of the original owners, who, by the way, still lives in
New Jersey. He provided me with a few photos of the owners that I used
in the publishing of my first book.

Fast forward to last year. I decided to write another book, this time
exclusively being a biography about the Philadelphia Caramel owner. I've
been in contact with the same family member, who has provided me with
additional photos, family records, and memoirs from his grandfather! For
this I am extremely grateful.

All along, this family has been so cooperative and helpful, really going above
and beyond to be helpful to me. Upon completion of the first book, I sent him
a complimentary copy of the book, as I plan to do for the second book as well.

Best of luck with your research on the Tango Egg brand. There is definitely a
story to be told, and who better to tell it than you! Yes, there is also an
audience who would read your book if you ever decided to write one.

As a side note, I was once the webmaster for the website 1919BlackSox.com.
I had a number of players families, including two of the Black Sox players' families
write to me.
