I was born in 1932 and
raised in New York City, mostly in Brooklyn.
My sister, Jewel, was born in 1935, and died in 2000. She was married to Don and lived in Denver. She has a married daughter named Candace, who
has a son Tyler, now 15 years old. Our father
died in 1988, and our Mom died in January 2004.
She was 94½. She was proud of her
two children, four grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.
Skipping all the rest of the
stuff in between, in 1961 I married Carol and had three sons. David was born in 1963, Ken in 1965, and
Mitch in 1968. Like one out of every two
marriages, mine fell apart in 1977 and I was divorced in 1979. I remarried that same year to Helen whom we
call Grace. She is British-born but became a US citizen in 1982. She is a ceramic artist and teacher, educated
in England but with an MA (1982) from the University of Maryland, College
Park. (There is a picture of Grace and
me taken a few years ago in Germany.)
David was 44 in June, 2007. He has his BA from the University of Maryland
(1985) and works as a Graphic Designer.
He lives in a condo in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Kenneth was 42 in
March, 2007. He is married to Patti, a
Canadian from Ottawa, eh? They have a
son, Josh, 11 and a daughter Rachel, 8. Josh is enjoying his time in sixth
grade. Ken has his own business
repairing and installing floors and floor coverings. He lives in Dayton, Maryland. (Picture of me with Josh and Rachel is below)
Mitchell was be 39 in November, 2007) and married Jolene in October 1999. Their first child, Kaitlin Sarah was born in December 2001. They live in Dumont, N.J., which is just across the George Washington Bridge from Manhattan where Mitch is a Mechanical Engineer for an international construction company. Jolene was in the advertising business dealing with Cable TV, but is now a full-time homemaker and mother. Mitch was graduated from Columbia University School of Engineering and Science with a BSME in 1990, and Jolene is a graduate of Baruch College. She is Chinese and was born in Hong Kong but has lived in the US since her early teens and is a US citizen. (There is a picture below of Mitchell, Jolene and Kaitlin taken in May, 2002.)
All three of the boys went
to Paint Branch High School in Silver Spring, Maryland.
One of the pictures below was taken in May 2002 at a Baltimore restaurant. You can see, from left to right: me , Ken, Patti, Mitch, Jolene and Dave.
