The weekend of February 14 we were in New Jersey to pay a shiva call on Millie and Joel, and to go to the memorial service for my uncle Irving (actually my mother’s first cousin, not really an uncle.)

And from Irv’s memorial:
This woman came from Belgium just for the memorial service. She had been an exchange student from Ethiopia in about 1961. The family that was supposed to be her host family refused to take her, and Irv and his then wife Johnny (the mystery writer Juanita Sheridan) took her in. She wrote a short biography of Irving, of which she brought 150 copies to give out at the memorial service.
