 It was while accompanying Abdul Baha in 1912, that Ahmad briefly met and began wooing Juanita Marie Storch, when she was brought by her father to meetings with Abdul Baha in Oakland and San Francisco in 1912.  (A more full biography of Juanita is [http://knol.google.com/k/will-johnson/-/4hmquk6fx4gu/11#view "Juanita Maria Storch", by Will Johnson.]) Juanita was the daughter of Hugo William Storch (1873-1917), an architect, and his wife Johanna Thee.  Hugo had been born in Mexico of Bohemian immigrants, while Johanna was born in Germany.  The family at that time was living in Oakland, Alameda County, California.  Since Sohrab returned to Palestine, the wooing took place long-distance by means of "five hundred letters".  The coming of World War I, put a temporary halt to the letters as they were apparently being confiscated or at least not allowed through the lines, but at the end of the war, the lovers re-made their acquaintance (see [http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=view&dbid=8049&iid=NEWS-CA-OA_TR.1919_12_26_0018&rc=2758,1021,2891,1054;2910,1021,3043,1054;2942,1413,3071,1446;3412,800,3528,833;3671,1054,3810,1087;3416,1579,3530,1612&fn=&ln=Record+Juanita+Storch&st=d&ssrc=&pid=482240530 Oakland Tribune, 26 Dec 1919]).
-In the meantime, Juanita had moved to Santa Rosa, California. They were married in New York on 28 Apr 1920 (''[[The Oakland Tribune]]'', 27 Jun 1920, ''The New York Times'', 29 Apr 1920 [http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=50000&iid=98587369&fn=&ln=Record+Juanita+Storch&st=d&ssrc=&pid=96112 here]).
+In the meantime, Juanita had moved to Santa Rosa, California. Both Juanita and Sohrab journeyed to New York City for the 12th Annual Bahai Convention (see [http://books.google.com/books?id=2A8YAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA208&dq=star+of+the+west+Vol+11+1920#PPA13,M1]).  They were married there on 28 Apr 1920 (''[[The Oakland Tribune]]'', 27 Jun 1920, ''The New York Times'', 29 Apr 1920 [http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=50000&iid=98587369&fn=&ln=Record+Juanita+Storch&st=d&ssrc=&pid=96112 here]).
 The story of their long and long-distance courtship, intercepted mail, and his many love letters which never made it to her, captivated a number of newspaper who made comment upon it. For example the ''Sandusky Star Journal'' (Sandusky, Ohio) on 29 Apr 1920 said : "New York - East met west here today with the marriage of Ahmad Schrab, former secretary to the Persian legation and Juanita Storch, Santa Rosa, Cal.  Schrab could have a harem in his own town but preferred one American girl."
