Featuring the Christopher and Kim Kuhn Family

Kim and Christopher with Josh and Christopher Jr.

An email from Kim Kuhn after their trip to the Outer Banks caught me up a bit with the family activities. Here is a short introduction to her family for all the cousins who read this Connecting Corners blog.    The Kuhns live in Uniontown, Ohio.

The photos above is of Kim, Chris and Christopher and Josh vacationing in the Outer Banks this July 2011  with most of the Kuhn family. This was was probably their 9^th year visiting this particular area. 

Like every family across America, their boys are now back in school and getting into a routine. Though most kids are reluctant to surrender a summer of freedom their boys are now adjusting well. Christopher is in 7^th grade and Joshua in 2^nd. Christopher continues to be first in his class. Joshua is learning to like school better each year!

Kim, who is a cancer survivor has been working at the PT Center for Sports Medicine for 14 years. As with all professions there are up and down days for her.  Chris Sr. doesn’t talk about work much at home, though we all know he is the verbose one in the family (at least from my viewpoint).

I understand that the commerical roofing business which the two brothers Matt and Chris Kuhn operate, is somewhat better this summer than last and they are managing to stay busy despite the economy this year.

 Just an interesting historical aside: One of the commercial buildings for which Matt and Chris' company had an extended contract was the huge roof at the  Goodyear Airdock in Akron, Ohio. ( click this link for a wonderful history of this magnificent ediface located in our hometown roots. Here is the begining of the article)

Built and previously owned by the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation, later Goodyear Aerospace, it was constructed from April 20, 1929 to November 25, 1929, at a cost of $2.2 million (26.4 million 2007 US Dollars adjusted for inflation). The building was designed by Karl Arnstein of the Wilbur Watson Engineering Company of Cleveland, Ohio. At the time it was built, it was the largest building in the world without interior supports, and provided a huge structure in which "lighter-than-air" ships (later known as airships, dirigibles, and blimps) could be constructed.^[2] The first two airships to be constructed and launched at the Airdock were USS Akron (ZRS-4) and its sister ship, USS Macon (ZRS-5), built in 1931 and 1933, respectively. These first two airships were approximately 785 feet (239.27 m) in length.

            

I hope you enjoyed this brief introduction into a section of our growing family. I apprectiate the emails you send in which you share so generously with me your family activities. In turn, I want to keep our Durosko, Walsh and Kuhn families connected to each other with these brief snippets of their lives. Love, Aunt Joyce
