    Edith Yokell was the daughter of Alexander and Manya Gersen of Elizabethtown NY. Here's Manya: Stanley and Edith Yokell were living in Boulder, Colorado, in 2007, when Edith's sister Ruth died (according to Ruth's NYTimes obit).
  • Retired at last said:
    Where on earth did they get that much fabric for a wedding dress in 1944, was it not rationed in the US? There must be most of a parachute there.
