Uncle Charlie (Charles Easker), July 4, “broom skritching” (dragging) an inverted broomstick on a salted board. Skritching produces deep and rhythmic bass tones vital to Czech folk music. The louder the better! Topinka family reunion, Marvin Topinka farm west of the Cedar Rapids Airport, now Eastern Iowa airport. Four generations were present.
