And my mother's sister, Jean, was already married and living in Chicago with Nate, and they helped along the way. Yeah. I don't believe there was ever any objection to my mother and father's marriage. I think they just didn't wanna wait and couldn't afford a real wedding. So they went to Chicago. My brothers. My oldest brother's name was Gilbert Stanley Conley Cohn. He married Meta gelman from Rock Island, Illinois. And they lived in Rock Island for a few years where they had their daughters Beth and Jane. And then they moved in Philadelphia area. And they had a son, Paul. And my brother, at the end of his life was an insurance agent in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, he died very young. He was forty three and he dropped dead of a heart. So That was a big loss. My other brother was Eddie Edward Leon. Eddie was five years older than me. Gilbert was eight years older than me. Eddie, I'm told was my everything when I was a baby that he just loved me and played with me and built block castles for me to knock it down and read me books and, we were always very, very close. Gil and I were not get close until we were adults. I mean, I was eight years younger, and I was just this annoying kid sister going through high school. But, As adults, we became good friends. And he became a rabbi, reform rabbi. He was ordained at, UHC in Cincinnati. And, I can even remember the year because I went to the ordination and I was pregnant with my second child. That would have been nineteen sixty one, that he was ordained. He married a woman he had met in Waterloo. Her name was, oh my goodness. I'm suddenly forgetting her name because they got they got divorced a few years later, and I never really knew her that well. And if her name comes back to me, I'll tell it to you. And they had a child, Marjorie Ann. And after the divorce, they lost touch with each other for a variety of not happy reasons, and I lost touch with Marjorie Ann and her mother many, many, many years ago. My brother remarried a woman from Greenville, South Carolina. Where he was the rabbi at the time. And, her name is Suzanne. And They were together until my brother's untimely death. He also died young. He was only fifty six. And, he had stopped being a pulpit rabbi because of his heart condition. He couldn't do that anymore. So, both of my brothers died of heart attacks, and both of my parents died of heart attacks. So it's not a a happy, genetic part of my life. Eddie and I, as I said, we're very close. And I I've written a book. I don't know if you're aware of that. It's, it's a, It's called lies, naps, and road signs. Memories, and thoughts of an octogenarian. And in this book, I have, told the story of how my brother and I used to do the dishes together. He and I both loved music, and he played the violin. I played the piano. We, would suggest for ourselves in the kitchen after dinner every night while he was still living at home in high school? And we would sing our way through whatever current Broadway show caught our attention mostly pajama game and, a few others. And, we'd spend an hour in the kitchen washing, drying, and putting away the dishes And it was great fun. And when I see these kids today fighting about whose turn it is to set the table or clear the table or fill the dishwasher, It makes me laugh and it makes me feel sorry for them that they don't have the kind of fun that Eddie and I had just washing and drying dishes every night. So that's my family. When I was born, we were living in a six room apartment above my father's super well, it wasn't a supermarket. Was a neighborhood grocery store, approximately the size of today's seven eleven. And we lived in a, an apartment above the store until I was five years old. And then we moved to a bungalow, and that was on Logan Avenue on the east side of town. And then we moved to a bungalow on Kingsley Avenue. Nice, Susan. What's up? Well, I did notice that I'm the only person on the screen. I didn't know if that was intentional or not. So what do you wanna do? Okay. So I'm to exit from here where it says end of the call?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://ijhs.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1537/collection_resources/163685/file/297967#t=262.395,619.38"}]}]}]}
