Dad and I had a wonderful time last night with our relatives, looking through pictures of family. We found a picture of my dad's grandfather - it was the first time my dad had ever seen what his father's father looked like. Duke (short for dadukas, my grandfather) didn't remember much of his father, and had mentioned that somewhere there was a picture of him, with a mustache - and lo and behold, our family had a labeled picture of him! It also seems that he had a sister - one picture was labeled with the same name, but with the -ite ending, which means "Miss". Putting two and two together - Dad's grandfather had a sister - my great great aunt! What a powerful experience, rediscovering roots like this.
Getting dinner tonight with a friend from Harvard :) For now, here are some pictures from the last two days... Ate!
