A major event in 2001 was the marriage of Richard’s and Emiko’s daughter, Maria Tomiko Schowengerdt, to Dr. Otto-Georg Richter in December 2001; they now reside in Adendorf, Germany. Another family marriage also occurred during 2001 in Arizona where Richard’s neice, Jennifer Schowengerdt, married Jose Jesu Rico.
When this homepage was launched on the Internet over five years ago, Richard thought it best to summarize the history of the Schowngerdt Family Mausoleum and the prior ten years effort in maintaining this splendid edifice.
