I came to Houston for a college competition (DECA) and I called them. We had dinner. You don't remember, but they visited us when you and Shana were babies in the 50's in Philadelphia. I have pictures of the two of you laying side by side. When my parents divorced (Harris and Sylvia) in 1959, my father wouldn't let us have any contact with his family and he remarried. Luckily, I have seen some of my Aunts and Uncles over the years. (Children of Jack and Gladys). And through the years I always knew you were down there in the Houston area. I've always remembered your family. When I googled Harris Koushel, I had no idea there was another one out there. I almost thought, given my father's history, I may have had another brother or sister floating somewhere. Now the pieces are finally coming together. My grandparents and their children were not always the most "functional" family but I've managed to survive all of them! I am so happy to hear from you. Your parents would be in their late 80's or early 90's. Are they still around? I loved seeing them when I was there. They were so gracious to come to the hotel and pick me up - but it was so long ago. What is your email address? Mine is momentumtours@gmail.com Take care, Dale Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
