Organizations in which I'm active include:

  • Lt. Louis Friedberg (right), my mother's first cousin (my grandfather Irving's older sister Dorothy's son), served in W.W. II in the Fifteenth Air Force as a navigator on a B-24 bomber based in England, was shot down over Germany, and died in a POW camp at age 20 in 1944. Family lore has it that he participated in the famous raid on oil facilities in Ploiesti, Romania, Operation Tidal Wave.  
  • Another cousin Edwin Brown ((my grandfather Irving's younger sister Etta's son; see next photo), also served in the Air Force in England during the war. Louis' niece is Carla (far right in the same photo).
