Here are some great old photos of Sue's parents, Martin and Irmgard (Pat) Petras, and their families. Martin took part in the occupation of Germany after World War II and met Irmgard there. They lived in Cleveland, OH all of their married life. They had four children: Marty, Chris, Chuck and Sue. Irmgard passed away in 1995. Martin moved to Atlanta in 1997 and enjoyed a very active life pursuing a variety of research and was active with the Kiwanis. Martin passed away April 15, 2008 at age 86. We will miss him!
