This is great - I love those little mysteries you find tucked away between the pages of a book. You're so lucky you were able to track it down. I've got old photos and slips of paper I doubt I'll ever be able to trace. Still, the mystery is part of the fun. Did you ever find out who this Dr. Kreik was? I've been looking around (curiosity will be the death of me) and found something you'll like. It's a picture of the man himself, Dr. William F. Krick of 340 N Fifth St, Reading: http://news.google.com/newspapers?

It has to be the same guy - the address is the same and all. They held a little wingding in his honor at the "Elks' Home", which is a building run by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks!
