Kate, Fanny and Rose Circa 1954
A new character appears..that is Fanny. She was my mother and aunts first cousin. Her father Jimmy, was my grandfather Benny's brother. I am only explaining all this to fill in for the people who never met her. She was a real fun person to be with.She laughed and joked all the time.
If you look at the shadow on the floor, you will see that my mother took this picture. I can tell it is her and also that is how I happen to have this picture. This picture was taken on Broadway in Astoria, down the street from Kneers Ballroom (a catering house). They were going to Fanny's brothers wedding. His name was Jamesy. I do have a funny story to tell about Aunt Kate and Fanny, but I will save that for later.....I will give you a hint...it involves a pleated skirt, two sailors and an ice cold shower....I know that got your attention....until the next time.

I didn't know we had another Jamesy in the family. That's what we all call James, Steve's 4 year old son.
I hate to be repetitive but these really are great photos!
Love you.
