I have this third cousin who lives in Door County, WI in the town of Fish Creek. His name is Joel and he's an accomplished musician, composer, and director. His musical interest is in the Czech heritage from his father's side of the family. He has honors given to him in the Czech Republic for his work with Czech folk music including the library of Czech folk music named after him.
He sent me this photograph of himself conducting his composition "Inventions #1" as it was performed by the Prague Castle Guard Band, "The Czech President's Own," in Frantisek Lazne, Czech Republic. Congratulations to cousin Joel.
