My presentation of the Wurlitzer Plaque to the North Tonawanda History Museum Trustees.
I’d like to share with you all the wonderful things I did on my birthday — of parties, food, and lavish gifts — but the present I truly longed for was sleep. So, that’s pretty much all we did. We slept. A lot.
By Thursday June 6th we were ready for a busy day. Our first stop was at my great uncle Farny Wurlitzer’s former house in North Tonawanda, New York. It was a beautiful place that was recently purchased by new owners. I won’t bore you with the pictures, but it was fun for us.
After the house visit, as official representatives of the Rudolph Wurlitzer family (I’m his great great grandson), Ann and I were invited on guided tour of the Herschel Carousel Museum in North Tonawanda.

Doug, Jeff and I are examining a Wurlitzer Carousel Organ that plays while the carousel rotates.
Who doesn’t feel like a kid riding a carousel??
Of course, we even found a jeep-like ride at the museum!
