Hi Tyson,
I’m a Mangelsdorf, too. Kristine Mangelsdorf Harvey. I’m a high school art teacher in beautiful northern Michigan and was getting ready for a new lesson on family portraits (Romare Bearden style, ultimately.) But just for fun, I typed in Mangelsdorf Family under google images.
Best wishes to you and your family. I wonder if your wife took your last name.
Kristine
