Aunt Helen and Uncle Lou were quite a team. Ops, let me back up a little.
There is a little story that goes with these two.
They were married 11 August 1945 by an Alderman of the City of New York.
That wasn't the story part. You see the notes say that the two had
a long courtship. How long exactly we will probably never
know. The reason for the long courtship was that my grandfather, Helen's
father, forbid her to marry out of the faith. Now Lou was Russian, and it
was possible that was the reason. Helen honored her fathers wishes
and they didn't get married until nearly a whole year passed from the
time her father died. I dare any parent to try that today !
They never had any children and before Lou passed away in 1969 they
had moved to Florida. There was the occasional visit to New York to
visit, but we didn't see them much after they moved.
