A day of misc. more to come today

I  have just gotten home after nine hours of working the early voting polls and canvassing to get voters out today on our last day of early voting. Here in Florida they not only cut our early voting days in half, but cut out Sunday, the heaviest voting day of all in early voting.  I know that if my Dad were alive, he would be out here with me working his heart out on this election.
 I know that I have not yet posted any photos of so many of my wonderful cousins. I am going to search through the photos I have on the computer picking out ones that I already have.  I still have not had time to scan others,  so please forgive me.  I love you all and when I can, each one of you will be represented on this blog. Please email me photos you want to see here.

The first three pictures of are of me1947, Susan- 1954 and Susan- Pre-teen

Below are Debora and Michael and Debby in costume.

A few more from the collection

 We were living in Clifton Heights.  Grandpa bought the house in his GI loan.  Aunt Esther and Uncle Morrie moved in two doors down with Arline and Judy.  I was three when we moved there.  Grandpa had a mimeo machine on which he would print fliers for the CP and take them back to Philly for distribution. On occasion, Jack and Nancy Bruin would come to visit with Janet and Marian and pick up the fliers and take them back with them.  In the picture is a near-by school and playground that we would go to.  On the swings are Fanny, Bubba and Aunt Harriet. 
In the lower picture are Bubba, Zaida, Uncle Morrie and Judy.

 Aunt Harriet and Uncle Sy when they were courting in 1954.

 The upper photo is of Bubba Rose and Zaida Sam.  The person in-between them is labeled as Bubba. I am assuming that she is Zaida's mother.  They both look a little younger than they do in the next photo and she wasn't alive when I was born.  She was the third wife and the great-grandmother of mine, and your's Rhea and Ellen, Judy, Arline, Sheryl and Roslyn and all of our extended cousins.

Below is a picture of Bubba and Zaida holding me as a new born in Brooklyn in front of Grandma Bella and Grandpa Joe's Store/house. 1944

 Bubba Rose with Cousin Fanny Shullman and me

 Fanny, me, Zaida and Bubba

Zaida in Atlantic City

 When grandpa Bill left the Navy, be and Grandma Elaine and Bubba and Zaida took a trip across country to see (I think it was Harriet but it could have been Esther) in California.  Here we are in Arizona

 I took this of Zaida when he was dying.  I was pre-teen and it was my job to sit with him while Bubba went out.  I would sit for what seemed hours, watching him breathe shallowly.  Every once in a while he would seem to stop breathing and I was sure he was dead.  I would sit quietly waiting for someone to come in and find his body. It was my job as I was the oldest grandchild. I refused every funeral after that until my sister died.

 Aunt Ethel and Bubba in Los Angeles.

 I think this must be Bubba with Roslyn or Sheryl.  If it is, it is 14-16 years after the pictures taken with me. Note that in those pictures she is also wearing a polka-dot dress.  She has aged a lot in 14 years.

 Bubba and Zaida- The Hendler and Greenberg genes-

 Bubba- Grandpa Bill must have taken this picture.  He loved posing us in the nooks of trees.

This is the last post today...I have been in the gallery since 8 this morning.  We are coming up upon 6PM and I am getting tired. Just want to make up for all the days I didn't post this week.

There are a few pictures of Ellen and me.  She was such a beautiful child

 Arline and Judy from Miss Ruth's Dance Recital. Judy wanted to be a Mouseketeer in the wor

 Judy, sister Susan. me and Arline in Atlantic City.

 Top is Arline and Bottom is Judy riding their bikes.  Aunt Harriet worked at a place that sold bikes so we all got them at a big discount.

 Picnic ...In background...Bubba, Aunt Esther, Elaine, Bill and Uncle Morrie.
In foreground...Arline, Susie, Judy and me.

 Did I miss this one before?  It is Esther as a baby.

 Ellen and me again.

 Cousin Simon Picker was from Israel.  He would come every summer to spend time with us. (That is me with him.) We became really good friends.  He is uncle Sy's nephew. (Aunt Harriet's husband).  He is now living in Mexico City (or was last time I saw him.) I saw him there over 40 years ago so I guess he is still there...How about it Roslyn and Sheryl...is he???

 Ellen and me.

 This was taken at Bubba Rose's house during a Seder.  I am on the left. Ellen is in the middle. Wearing the same dress my sister Susan and I were wearing is Susan Radbill.  She is a cousin as well but I forget how she fits into the family.
