| This circa 1950 photo shows two of Sr. Gertrude's brothers in their prime, closer to the way they were when Sr. Gertrude still lived in Uniontown. That's Elmer on the left and August on the right. Their 13-year-old nephew Roger (William's son) is in the middle. |
 |
| Sr. Gertrude and Elmer on July 11, 1995, when she visited him in his nursing home near Ohiopyle, PA. Elmer was more comfortable around animals than people. He was permitted to bring one his goats, Snowball, to the nursing home and she was a pet of the residents. Notice the darkness of Elmer and Gertrude's hair! Salitriks (and Saletriks!) did not go gray. |
 |
| This photo from June 6, 1973 was taken at the Union Printers' Home in Colorado Spring, Colo., where August was living due to ill health. His son Dave is on the left. Sr. Gertrude is standing next to Margo, Dave's wife. The woman with the white purse is Margo's cousin. That's August in the wheelchair, of course. He had the black Salitrik/Saletrik hair as well. |
 |
| That's Augie on the left, smoking a cigar. |
 |
| Sr. Gertrude took this photo on June 3, 1972 at the Balanced Rock at the Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs, Colo. That's Sr. Mary Ruth Kramer in the driver's seat and August as passenger. |
 |
| August and Gertrude's last visit in Cushing, Okla. on July 27, 1978. August died about four months later, on November 13. |
