Fred Gerard (1911-2001) was a German immigrant who came to the United States from Berlin in 1938, and then fought for his adopted country in World War II against his former homeland, winning two bronze medals. At the end of the war, Fred opened a photography studio at 17129 Kinsman Road (between Budin's Delicatessen and Avalon Cleaners), where for over 40 years Moreland families went for family, holiday and other special event professional photographs. Also active in the community, Fred served in 1962 as the first president of the Moreland Community Association. He retired, and closed his studio, in 1984. | Source: Shaker Heights Public Library, Local History CollectionDownload Original File
