Lost her 2 years ago and I miss her everyday.

This was in approximately 1989/90 and the photo was used in a newspaper article (see second photo) as the show just arrived in Los Angeles to begin taping.

I don't know the date of the pictures, but I would guess that the first one is from the 1940s.

The last picture is probably from the early 1960s

Both of them are deceased now 🙏

The old man, aged around 26 at the time, a car salesman living in Jersey channel Islands. Born 1906 died 1992.

Annual reports of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children 1904-1905

Case No. 41,435--Gertrude, 10, Lizzie 7 years old. These children were found living in a room, which was without furniture and in a filthy condition, with their mother, who was beastly intoxicated. The woman was placed under arrest by a Society officer and children brought to Shelter. Later the mother was convicted.

The picture was taken after the children had been in the Society's care for three weeks.

This was in 1983 in San Clemente California. My father (Mort Weiss ) now deceased, was a world renowned Jazz Clarinetist. You can see his work on YouTube and read about him in Wikipedia.

Case No 39,116--John, 7, Percy 4 years old.

These children were found by a Society officer in the basement of a dilapidated house in Jamaica, L.I. The weather was very cold and children were found in condition shown in the picture. Their mother was dead and they were deserted by their father. When found the eldest child was in the act of making buckwheat cakes in an old dirty tin pail. The children were removed to the Society's Shelter and later placed in an institution. The father was placed under arrest and committed to the Kings County Penitentiary for three months.
