Hello Alexis. We are sorry for your loss. I am a sort of cousin in Chicago. Ruth L. Schimberg (Teddy's wife) ws my mother's first cousin. We also have a cousin, Marilou, in LA; Dee Dee Gartman was her daughter's religious school teacher. We have several connections, including a cousin Roy (83) in the area who, I believe, knew Aaron. I also knew Dan Weil, Myron's son; Mike must have been Henry's boss in 1958. Marilou and I would be interested in filling in the picture. I hope to hear from you when you're ready to "chat".

Hello, Alexis. We are all sory for your loss. I am a distant cousin in Chicago. My mother and Ruth L. Schimberg (Teddy's wife) were first cousins. Ruth's nephew Roy (83) is still living in this area. We have another cousin, Marilou, who lives in LA. Dee Dee Gartman was her daughter's religious school teacher. So we have many connections. I also knew Dan Weil, Myron Weil's son. Mike must have been Henry's boss in 1958. Was Henry Ted's cousin? Marilou and I would like to paint the whole picture, with your help, when you're ready. Jane Salzman Heron

I know you don't know me, but I often played tennis with Henry at Birnam Wood during tennis events. He was always fun to play with, enthusiastic and fair. He will be missed by all his tennis friends at BW. My condolences,
Linda Whiston
