Received a letter from Michele 11/5/2004 explaining the reason behind some of their childrens names. She explained that:
The CARL in Joshua Carl is from Carl Skow (Bette's dad). Also, Joshua arrived just a few weeks after Meta's passing. One life on earth was leaving just as a new one was beginning. Meta had a joy in living, a kind and gentle spirit, and lots of love. Her husband Carl, in addition to sharing these traits, was extremely hard-working. He began working at age 14 and worked as he finished high school and later evening University classes. During the depression, I understand he supported 3 families - his own, his parents' and his in-laws' families.
The MARSHALL in Andrew's name is from Marshall Leslie Kenzie. This we chose because I seem to remember in one version of this history that Marshall was a man of real faith and used to sing hymns in the field while he worked. Our hope for Andrew is that he would love the Lord and find joy in Him as we understood his ancestor did
The HALL in Timothy's name comes both from Joe's grandfather's last name and Bertha Hall.

Children of MICHELE KENZIE and JOSEPH STEINITZ are:
i. TIMOTHY HALL7 STEINITZ, b. 11 Oct 1993.
ii. ANDREW MARSHALL STEINITZ, b. 02 Apr 1995.
