Hi Trish…..My sister in Portland used to be good friends with Seid sisters. Too bad this is a bit late. I’ll check to see if the sisters are still alive the next time I go to Portland. Loretta

I will try to find more on Seid Beck. It will be great if you have more information from the Seid sisters.
