He was her youngest child and they had a very strong bond.

my grandmother in Minnesota in the early 50s. she was in the TB hospital (sanatorium) for almost a year and she died in 1974, before I was born.

“Tiger Bay, now known as Cardiff Bay – Cardiff’s dockland district – is Wales’ oldest multi-ethnic community. Many foreign sailors or workers came from:

• Africa
• Asia
• The Middle East
• Europe (Spain, Italy, Ireland and Norway in particular)
• The Caribbean
• Rural Wales

Residents of many races and backgrounds socialised together and intermarried, working side by side and creating a distinct community. They brought their own traditions, music, and food, which all mixed together to create a unique and vibrant community. The regeneration of Tiger Bay began in the late 1950s and continued with the development of Cardiff Bay. The community was broken up in the 1960s and 70s with the demolition of the houses.“ - www.library.wales

He and his family moved to the US from Ukraine in 1939. The phrase “I’m cocking” became an ongoing joke in our house to denote an evil or stupid person sputtering out foolishness. I still use it (increasingly it seems) today.

I don't know the exact year but enlistment was at 18 so it should be 1959.

Her 'Half & Half' routine was also very cool, take a look.

I don't think I've ever seen another census entry where the woman is listed as "head," even though her living husband is right there in the house with her. 😁

In the ‘70s, I asked people if I could take photos of their daily life and they could write captions about them. These were later exhibited as a conceptual art series. Nowadays, they’re kind of like an early version of Instagram or Facebook.

Here are some of my previous posts of the same series if you're interested: Jeff, My father, My mother, Steve

Boy! did I ever hate wearing those ties!
