From Natalie Andre

Allan,
It was so great talking with you just now! I am copying this to my brother, Robert Pullman, so both of you can keep in touch. Also my sister Ruth Cameron, who at the moment is totally unaware of any of these inquiries, so it will be a surprise for her. Because neither he nor I nor Ruth remember our various relatives, for this email at least, I will be including information which you already know.

Bob had had his DNA tested, out of curiosity, and several strangers have written asking if we might be related--including one woman in the Ukraine--and this made us realize that we have very little information about the Pullman side of the family.

I called your sister, Janice Waldor, at the number you gave me, (973) 721 4005, but I could not get through. Maybe she can call me.

I did locate your niece (daughter of your sister Arlene Wiener) Ellen Stern in Boca, (561) 482 3567, and she will call me back--she was on her way out; she was very excited about this.

My number is (561) 495 5412 and cell (561) 702 9192. Best to call me in the morning.

Here is a synopsis of what you told me--more for Bob's and Ruth's benefit (and mine, I will print this out for reference) than for yours; correct me if anything is wrong:

Your mother was Marion Lozowick Waldor, daughter of Izzy and Dora. Dora was our father's sister, I believe, in which case Lozowick would have been Izzy's last name. Am I right?

You mentioned that your sister Janice Waldor is the family historian.

Fay Greenberg Lawrence, originally Fay Siegel (Millie & Henry Siegel's granddaughter, adopted by her stepfather Greenberg) married the son of Steve Lawrence and Eddie Gorme; she and her husband created the music for "High School Music"; I will let my son know this.

That's about all I got from our all-too-brief talk. Your phone number is (609) 395 1565 and, according to the internet, you live at 2 Barbara Fritchie Ct, Monroe Township NJ 08831. Correct?

I live at 14782 Wood Lodge Lane, Delray Beach FL 33484
