Gail. The were many Slifkas. My best guess is that Fred's father was John. I think that Fred's sister was Irene. John also had a brother Rudy. The Slifkas worked at the AS&R smelter. John lived up on the 2nd hundred block on East 8th street. I can't remember when Rudy lived. I ran this by my mom and she couldn't help me out with any more information. Ed Kelly
