Hello,
I tried to post this before, but I had a computer glitch... so ... I appologise if it shows up twice.
I am seeking Info on Ben Guggenheim and his family... All I know is that his family made their fortune on Iron Smelting. Where did his family originate? Did they have any connections here in Pennsylvainia? (we had a big Iron industry here.) Is there any monumanet to Mr. Guggenhiem? (As in others where bodies were not recovered.)
Any biographical, or other character sketches about Ben? I understand he was not in great favor with his family at the time of his passing, but, is the Mistress story the main reason?
Lastly, was the Guggenheim Museum named for a Family member? If so what was the connection... I have a friend who wanted that info... I told him here is the place to find out!
Must run.
Thanks................................Jere
