Memories from daughter Naomi

Jack (Reichard) pitched for the Edwards and Moore Milk Company Dairy Maids. Jack was a baker. During the depression he worked for the light plant for the city, before they built the store onto the house. Jack was six feet tall.^S13

Memories from daughter Donna

Dad (John “Jack” Reichard) managed a lumberyard in Mellott Indiana. He played baseball with the 3-“I” team; I stands for Indiana, Illinois & Iowa. He knew Mordecai (“Three Finger”) Brown of the (baseball) Hall of Fame. (Mordecai played with the Chicago Cubs at the turn of the 20th century). He was interviewed by the Cubs baseball team but had 3 children and didn’t go. (His 3 oldest children were Zulieme, Kenneth and Keith. By then it was at least 1909 and he was 32). He played with the ‘Dairy Maids’ in Crawfordsville, pitching a no-hit game when he was 49 (in 1926). Dad played Spanish Guitar.

Dad was a mathematician. He only had a 9th grade education but also had a beautiful scribe. He virtually would turn an apple into applesauce trying to teach me fractions. Keith took after his dad, not me!
