Ms. Block

I am in desperate need of a photo of Mr. Julius Weiss. You mentioned him as one of the founders of the Alvin Corp in 1939. We are in the middle of producing a documentary on how 1200 Jews were rescued by being given visas to the Philippines and Julius Weiss is the guy who had the initial concept. I’ve searched through the JDC without success and even PEFIsrael.org (where he’s listed as one of the Founders)

I hope you can point me towards either a library or a family member that I can contact.

It would be a shame not to give him his fair due for this act.

Hello Susan,

I found your blog while searching for information about the Goldsboro Paramount Theatre which you mention briefly in one of your posts. I am trying to get a more complete history of the building and I’m on the search for any little facts you may have. I’m also trying to find a lot of pictures for the building for a timeline display I am trying to plan for our lobby.

Could you contact me to let me know if you have any information? My email address is vbridgers@goldsboronc.gov I currently work at the Paramount, our number here is (919) 583-8432

Hi Susan,
I came across your blog while doing some research on my grandfather, Rabbi Harry Bronstein, and saw you reference in your article. How may I contact you? Feel free to contact me at adirhealthcare@earthlink.net. I look forward to speaking with you!
Thank you,
Steven (Shlomo) Kreindler

Susan,

I do appreciate your dropping-off the pamphlet which you wrote about Greenfield Lake and Park last week at my mother’s house. Your prose is factual without being pedantic, clear, free flowing and economical all because your research is so thorough and, obviously, so lovingly done. I enjoyed it immensely and in fact it prompted Mother and me to take an enchanting twilight drive around Greenfield Lake Wednesday evening after a delightful supper at Elijah’s. Thanks, again!

Yours,

Ed Wells

Hi Susan. Are Claude Howell’s journals available for perusal anywhere? I am hoping to find some reference to them to Wilmington artist Fred Tyson Gaylor who studied under Howell. Thank you so much!

Blogging affords a freedom to move from subject to subject without apology. The only thing these blog entries have in common is that I found the event, person, subject, or idea to be interesting. In that way, blogging can be quite selfish.
As the discipline of writing, or posting, goes, blogging is a joyride. It’s the difference between driving a real automobile on a busy freeway, and driving a bumpercar at a carnival.
