I received your email celebrating the birth of your son Joseph and I wanted to catch up on your life through your blog. I was so sorry to learn that your grandmother Ruth passed away in June, but your remembrance of her was beautifully written. I remember her from many years ago, a very vital lady. She lived a busy, long life, as my mother did. As you know, Mary died at 101 in December. I was very grateful that you were at her funeral and we reconnected there. Now with Joseph’s birth the circle of life goes on. For everything there is a season, and now is your time for joy.

they married february 4, not march. they went to nyc on their honeymoon, but it snowed so hard, they had to stay in boston the first night at the Essex Hotel, right across from south station. no longer there, but neither is the street.
travelling: she went to copenhagen, amsterdam, and israel, all on the same trip with 3 other women. i dont remember anyplace beyond that, except bermuda with solly, once.
they were at the larsen game. solly went to the world series every year with 3 other men from lynn for many years, 20 or so.
the doll collection was mine which i gave you. i have one doll left. it’s in my bedroom. she was not my favorite, but she is what i have.
they went to nyc every january to a trade show. lumber, appliances. he owned another company: newburyport lumber company. she shopped with the best eye. she bought hats, particularly, but everything.
the one big story from that was the “diamond bracelet.” they walked on 5th avenue and in the window of cartier saw a bracelet. assuming it was diamonds, they went in nevertheless to look at it. it turned to be rhinestone, $20.00, and he bought it for her. it was stolen in their one robbery.
she was president of both hadassah and the sisterhood. she was treasurer of 5 different organizations, all at the same time. she was a great bookkeeper.

She sure did and I once had quite a large collection of dolls in native costume which I got as gifts from her from each of the places she travelled.

Did she travel outside the U.S. too? I was wondering that yesterday…

It is one thing to be aware it is another thing to be able to make yourself do it.
