Another precious picture. Lookout House was a pretty fancy restaurant in Covington, Kentucky. We are not sure the occassion, but we are sure the major players were there. The date on the back is May 28, 1947. Jeanne thinks maybe it was on the death of Al's Father, but that is just a guess. Interesting, somebody had the attendees sign their names on the back of the picture. You can read them yourself. For some of us who might not know who they are, here is the best I can do. (Again, if I make a mistake, please don't hesitate to use the comment section to set it right or add whatever you know about this.) Starting on the left is Barbara Thomas who was George Thomas's first wife. George Thomas is the first guy on the right. He was Al's step-brother. Next to Barbara on the left of course is Al. Then comes Mitzi Badanes, Al's mother. Next to her is Uncle Hoff (Frank Hoffmeister). He was Aunt Marie's husband and she is next to him in the picture. Next to Aunt Marie is Uncle Jake. (Jake Brand) Now, Uncle Jake was nobody's uncle. He was a boarder that lived with Aunt Marie and Uncle Hoff. Next to him, (We are now 3rd person from the right) is of course Connie. Then, the man next to George (2nd guy on the right) we don't know. We think his name was something like George Boscher, but we don't know if that is right, and we don't know who he is. There you have it. The best I can do. Because of my late arrival into the family I did not meet all these people, but I met some. I did not meet Barbara, Mitzi, Uncle Hoff, Uncle Jake or the unknown George. All the others I had the opportunity to meet.

Mitzi was our father,s step mother. His birth mother died when he was 7 years old. At that point, our father was sent to Cincinnati to be raised by his grandmother, Granny, and his Aunt Marie, his father,s sister. Later, Marie married Hoff who joined the household. Dad's father later married Mitzi who had a son, George, whom she brought into that marriage. They lived in NYC near Central Park. Our father was allowed to visit them every summer, but then was returned to Cincinnati at the end of each summer.
