These windows made their way from Europe to Langley, BC, Canada and were installed in The Heidi Restaurant by my father Emil Biech and my mother Elvera Biech, some 45 years ago. They stayed in the “Stained Glass Room” of the restaurant and were admired and commented on by 10s of thousands of customers over the next 25 years. When the restaurant was sold, my father and mother took them to Lethbridge Alberta and installed them in the wall of their home there, where they moved to after the sale of the business. The windows were part of the garden there for 10 years and then the house was sold with the windows included. Both Dad and Mom have passed now and the windows remain in Lethbridge in that very wall. They are 100s of years old and now no-one passing by will know where they came from or who they belonged to. Time goes on.
