This is a photo of the framed sketch. I don't want to remove the paper to do a better copy since I messed up Josef's sketch earlier.

Shmuel Josef Kreinik

This is my great-grandfather, my grandmother Leah (Lee) Kreinik Jacobowitz's father.

The sketch was done by his daughter Mae Pepis. Mae also did a sketch of Frieda (Fanny) Kreinik, her mother and my great-grandmother.

I got the sketches from Max Ellen, widower of my cousin Leslie Tamases Ellen, from their apartment in New York. We tried to scan the image and ripped the sketch paper in the lower left. I offered to get it repaired, and Max said to just take the sketches in their frames.

I got in touch with some Pepis relatives. Aaron Pepis is a photographer living in upstate New York. Mae's son Saul Pepis lives in California.

Claude Desqueaks

Claude has been staying with us while Saul & Laura are in the far east. We now know why the only toys they left for him were very robust, noise free devices. I got him a squeaky toy. It squeaked for about 5 minutes before Claude performed the squeakectomy.

Eli Claims the Director's Chair

We were cleaning the canvas director's chair in the sunroom and found a little gift from 1988 from Eli Jacobowitz.

This must be his chair.

Adolph and Jennie Jacobowitz Treuhaft at Niagara Falls

Cecile Jennie Jacobowitz, Pop-pop's sister, married Adolph Treuhaft. They had three children, Mimi, Buddy, and Evelyn. Jennie had been a friend of Dudu's from school on Broome Street before she met Pop-pop.

This photo is labeled Niagara Falls, NY. Seems to be an anniversary.
