Eastern Minkoff Blog

First some shameless self promotion! If you want to check out some recent photos of my gang, I'm starting to post them under the "Minkoff Musings" link on this site: http://planetminkoff.com/blog/index.php/easterns?cat=20

Cousin Roberta (Fine) DiNitto sent some wonderful photos last week! Here is the Zayde, Nochem Wolfe from 1942.

Here's a photos from April 1930 of Dad (on left) and Solly Fine sparring. Love those knickers!

As I mentioned in a previous entry, my Hebrew name is Chashka Esther. Chashka, a Yiddish twist on Hadassah, was my maternal grandmother's name, and Esther is after Cousin Esther Fine. There are lots of photos of Esther below. BUT FIRST here is an assignment for those of you who remember her: please send me some memories you have of Esther either by clicking on "Comments" or just emailing me.
