    1. In My Father's Bakery

    3. While answering a query that was postred to "[email protected]", I came across the following: IN MY FATHER'S BAKERY A Bronx Memoir By Marvin Korman Here's one source's (http://www.redrockpress.com/bakery.html) review: "This beautifully written remembrance restores to life --- in all its color, humor and magic --- a vanished New York neighborhood of European Jews, Irish Catholics and others as it was during the Depression and through World War II. The author unrolls before you prizefights in the Bronx Coliseum, baseball in the original Yankee Stadium and pinochle in the bakery backroom. Yet bread, the staff of life, is at the center of this work. In an easygoing, novelistic style, Mr. Korman delivers such vivid portraits of bakery regulars that you, too, will feel you are in the bakery, eating devil's food cake and eavesdropping (while pretending to do homework) as scenes of crisis or celebration spill before them. The author's powerful vignettes focus on individuals: among them the grocer, the baker and the local bookmaker. You will also meet a local politico, a lonely wartime wife, gypsy tinsmiths, and a magician - who is not the only closely observed character who pulls surprises out of his hat. Marvin Korman is too keen a chronicler to serve up mere nostalgia along with the bakery's recipe for butter cookies, the one with the maraschino cherry in the middle that mother mailed to their boys in the service. Mr. Korman's stories are delivered fresh-baked and warm, with irony enough to assure a memorable bite." Regards, Walter Greenspan

Put in Clinton Martin and NY. There is one listed there for Yonkers H.S. and from your year of marriage, his graduation range of 1958-1962 seems about right. The only problem with classmates.com is that you can't email from their site unless you are a paid member. It might be worth it for you to join and then hope the email address they have for him is still valid. I hope it works out for you, let me know if it does. Tony

    1. Re: BRONX ADDRESS

    3. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: CROTONA Ave is the correct spelling. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JRB.2ACE/1466.4 Message Board Post: I'm positive that the street you are looking for is CROTONA Avenue in the Bronx, NYC. The 1826 address you mention is between East 175th Street and Fairmont Place, just north of the Cross Bronx Expressway. That area saw a lot of decline in the 1970's and 1980's, and some new development now; I don't know if the original building is still there now, but you could probably get a picture of it from the NYC Archives/Division of Records and Information Services [DORIS] through www.nyc.gov. In the 1930's a WPA project was to photograph buildings in the city and many can be found through this source. Good luck in your research.
