More on The Brossman’s

I was born into an era of spoke-wheeled Model T Fords and gas lit homes. I have lived to see men walk on the moon and the methods of communication between people become more various, more accessible, more portable and more affordable than in any time in history. My father's dream of creating something in order to better communicate with his neighbors and customers has been realized. You, the very dear people of our greater Denver and Ephrata community are the reasons behind my father's realized efforts. My family was and continues to be ever grateful and humbled by your overwhelming support, your encouragement and your help.
