Hi, sorry I haven't checked the travelblog site where your message was for several months. Charles the woodcarver was my grandfather's Uncle on my father's side. I have read notes from my grandfather (William Ostner) who remembered Charles (they called him Karl) in Germany before he sailed to america and settled in the Boise area. I'm 60 so I'm thinking I'm in your father's generation. If you're interested, we stopped by the Boise historical society and they pulled a file on him with lots of pictures, hand written notes, correspodance from my uncles, etc. He was a pretty talented guy!
