Approximately 60 of the 100 + people who attended the Centennial Celebration on July 17 placed their name on a flower tag for the cemetery urn next to Katherine and Frank’s grave. The tags were color coated to signify grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great grandchild, and yes, even great, great, great grandchild. Some people made visits to the gravesite to place their flowers, and others left the flowers in a vase at the Celebration. Those flowers were placed in the urn on Sunday after the Centennial Mass. Grandma and Grandpa Robl would have been pleased at the attendance for the celebration honoring their immigration to the USA 100 years ago. About 1/3 of their descendents returned to Oshkosh for the event with people coming from California and New York. Eight of the nine family branches were represented with only John’s family missing. (We were never able to locate his only son, Johnny Jr., although valiant efforts were made.)
