My condolences for your loss of your dear Michael. I am somewhere on your family tree on Sylvia's side. Sylvia's father, Jack,  was my mother Rose's brother. My mother and sister, Joan, we're very close to Sylvia. We moved to California in 1946 but whenever my sister went to Chicago she would often visit Sylvia and Gordon. I have a picture of her on their boat on the lake.
Maybe 5 or 6 years ago I had a phone conversation with Michael. We had his phone number as my cousin contacted him when she was doing a family tree and 2004.

If you ever get to Los Angeles, please email me at jzuravel@yahoo.com. I'd love to meet with you to learn more about your family.
