A great one of Al and Roie and Jeff at the house on Rumstick road!
Some thoughts from LaLa:
We all know that Jeff is the "workin'mon", but dad certainly put his time in. I remember while in Chicago (1949-54) his absence more than anything else, and looking forward to the weekend when he would return from his constant traveling.
Dad was a complex man who kept us all striving for his approval. This was sometimes difficult, often funny, but all the time his interest and caring ( if not approval) were self evident.
