Hillmanns 31

THE HILLMANNS OF BROOKLYN

CHAPTER 31

1926

It's 1926 and the summer between Marian's junior and senior year at Erasmus.  

It's a Manhattan Beach Day!

Rose, Marian's Mom, is second on the left.

We go from the beach to the woods.

Herman and Rose, Marian's Pa and Ma

Emma, Herman's Mom, Marian's "Granny"

I'm so happy Marian decided to label this picture.

Cousin Dot, Herman's sister, Louise's, daughter, was a few years younger than Marian. This is the last picture I have of her. Dot's parents divorced.  Both parents abandoned their children, leaving Dot, and her sister, Ruth, with Granny Emma, who raised them.  I met descendants of Dot through Ancestry.com.  This resulted in my father's second cousin visiting.  We are also now FB friends.  How wonderful is the internet?

I don't know where we are..

But Herman and Marian are there.

It's the start of Marian's senior year

Hillmann's albums comes out on Tuesday.  Next week is one of my favorites.
