Saturday, November 3, 2012 - The Edith and Szrulik Korsh Family

I am now looking through slides that I scanned. I came across a Korsh family celebration.  For the first time we see Aunt Clara Poland (Zaida Sam's youngest sister.) She is the mother of Aimie Katz who is the mother of Jimmy (a wonderful cousin who died at too early an age), Cathy and Sam (who ran for mayor of Philadelphia.) Sam has a wonderful wife and four lovely children.

 Atlantic City again- Szrulik, Ethel and Aunt Anna Greenberg (Joe).

 This is the first picture I have come across of Szrulik and Edith Korsh, Jimmy's mom and day and Erik, Aaron and Joanna's grandparents.  They were the best of friends to Grandpa Bill and Grandma Elaine as well as cousins.  They shared the same progressive political core. Two really wonderful and special people.

 Another picture or Aunt Clara.  Esther Gerstein's back is to us.

 Faigie on the beach.  By the way, Faigie was a nickname for Florence.  It means, little bird.  We had a lot of Florence's and Esther's in this family.
Rhea is in this group shot.  Would love to remember who the rest of the folks are.
