The Old Family Photo

[dlgood]

Courtesy of my older sister, who had it scanned... and feeling nostalgic following my aunt's funeral, I've gone ahead and put up a picture of the Goodman clan from way back.




Back Row: Uncle Eddie, Aunt Zelda, Uncle Max, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Mack
Front Row: Poppie Teddy & Bubbie Mollie (my grandparents), Aunt Stella, Uncle Ray, Aunt Ann, Joseph David and Rose (my Great-Grandparents).

There are six Goodman siblings in the photos - the seventh having not survived infancy. In order of age it went Stella (married Eddie), Max (and Ann), Teddy , Sarah (Mack), Zelda and Ray. Zeldie and Raymie now being the only ones remaining. Aunt Zeldie is almost ninety, but she still smiles like that when she tells stories...

I don't have a date for the photo. Upon talking to my father, we can place it between 1945 and 1952, since my grandfather would have been away for the army and Uncle Max died in 1952. Based on that Eddie and Stella are wearing the boutenier and corsage, we think it's an event related to them. Perhaps my cousin Marvin's Bar-Mitzvah, which would put it at about 1950, I think.

I love old photos, so much history.

Sadly, two of my favorites are gone forever. My grandmother sitting in a field, with her blonde waist-length hair spread out behind and around her. She must have been a teen-ager and she was quite the hottie.

My uncle Sidney, with a page boy and Little Lord Fauntleroy collar, sitting on a pickle barrel in my grandparents tiny-weeny grocery store. He was four years old.

I'm sorry to hear that you can't find them...

But certainly, it's neat. At home, my parents have a picture of my grandfather playing football as a young man, complete with leather helmet.
