Family Pugilists? Honestly?

On page 130 in Horst Hanneken's new book about Buckman (see sidebar to order), there's an account of how the Buckman Athletic Association was formed. Evidently, our great uncles were a big part of it.  Who knew?

Math, Mary and Theo Hesch

 It was 1913, and Math and Theo were 25 and 23.  It was the year after the Titanic sank; the year before their trip to see Europe, as well as the year their nephew Mike was born ☺.  
Math was already writing the Buckman News for papers in Pierz and Little Falls.  I suspect he reported glowingly about winning, huh?  After all, they were strapping farm boys, as were their opponents from nearby towns.  
Horst's account is actually fascinating--I didn't know any of that, did you?
