The last one died a couple years ago. I wonder if that means my quest is hopeless. I have a newsclipping with photos from the Boston Globe when they had their fiftieth anniversary in 1939. And I have William's job record with the City of Boston and his immigration papers. I guess if I were smarter I could do better with those clues. Thanks for your note. Sandy holmes
