Of course, that scope is broader than I can attempt here, but I really believe the many experiences Sam went through--both unfortunate and redeeming--had an impact on lives through the next two generations as well.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-66194966562597747042013-03-19T21:15:22.659-07:002013-03-19T21:15:22.659-07:00Good point, Iggy!

He is proud of his poems, and wants to sell them to own a broom factory. My heart goes out to him. In the photo he looks very handsome and also very serious.Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-63631928067425816382013-03-18T05:08:21.594-07:002013-03-18T05:08:21.594-07:00They could not have been Boston long, if they were...They could not have been Boston long, if they were there, because they ate listed in the Alameda County city directory (SanFran) in 1928 and in Oakland in the 1930 US census.
