My late mother, Esther Gooder Butchin, found your father's obituary in the paper and told me that they used to affectionately call your father "the baby." I believe your father was a cousin to my mother. My mother's mother, Pauline Smith Gooder, had 2 sisters. One was Ruchel, which I guess would be Rachel in English. I can't remember the other one's name. One moved to Whittier, California. How am I doing?

My mother had told me many years ago that a cousin of hers owned The Leading Man, and I often wanted to go into your father's store to tell him who I was. However, I was very young, early 20s, just out of college, and I wasn't sure it was appropriate. I regret that now.

I am sorry for your loss. I just lost my mom last June. It's rough, isn't it? We will grieve together side by side, arm in arm, as we continue on with our lives somehow without our parents. May his memory be a blessing.
