1890s - 1920s
- Baba, her husband, and daughter Annie shortly after the latter two arrived in America, circa 1892.
- Grandma and her brother Irving, circa 1906 (shown above).
- My grandmother and her cousin
Tillie, circa 1910-1, (shown to the right).
- Tillie and her mother.
- Tillie and a friend, early on. (Tillie's on the right, the other woman is a friend),
and these sisters came to North America separately. Lena eventually found
Tillie by placing an ad in a Yiddish-language paper in New York and they
were reunited when Tillie went up to Nova Scotia. Read about my search
for this branch by clicking here.
- Aunt Millie's first photo, circa
1913.
- Aunt Millie and Uncle Harold, circa 1917.
- Grandma, Gertie, and their friends at the beach, circa 1920.
- Close-ups of Grandma at the
beach and Aunt Gertie at the beach.
- The Kaplans.
These people are related to Gabe Kaplan of Welcome Back Kotter
fame.
- Tillie and Lena, later on. (Tillie
on the left, Lena on the right).
- Uncle Ben.
Suffered gas poisoning in WWI and finally died from it in 1934.
1930s -1940s
- Aunt Mary and Grandpa on Carroll Street (smaller version pictured to the left) (probably
late 1930s/early 1940s).
- On the beach:
My mother, grandmother, Uncle Harold, Aunt Millie; and a closer
look at the first three. It's the early 1930s, when women still wore
their housedresses at the sea shore.
- Mothers' Day 1947 in Brighton beach.
- My grandfather and Howard.
- My grandmother and Alan.
- Grandpa and his siblings at a party. If you knew the Bookeys then, you would know how
odd it is to see them all wearing these party hats. This is sort of like
seeing Plato and Socrates blowing noisemakers.
- What's a party, even in the 1940s, without the kids' table? There are two Ted Bookeys in the photo. Can
you find them both?
1960s - 1990s
- My mom and me at the airport,
1967.
- My brother at Jones Beach in
the early 1970s.
- Grandma on her 100th Birthday,
July 1996. Who is that strange man next to her, "coming in for a landing"?
