Special thanks to Paul Kolnik for digging in his archives to provide 2 photos for the series.
Additional thanks to Suzy Pilarre, David Gray, Tiler Peck, Eliza Blutt, Charlotte d’Amboise and Marjorie Spohn for either identifying family members in old photos, or providing photos for this post. Thanks to Wendy Whelan for her advice as well.
