Dear Ruth Ellen, Frank, and Sam,
How lovely and appropriate that a conference will be held at a site that your Mom depicted so beautifully in her art. I look at her photo, and her art, and remember all the wonderful times we spent with her and Jake in NYC, Santa Monica, and Italy. Equally wonderful is your keeping Shirley’s beautiful art and our memories of her alive. Her memory is truly for a blessing. My only wish is that I could attend the conference, but that is not possible.
Best, always
Marilyn
Hey there, I may have found a piece of artwork painted by Shirley Gruber. Please email me and I can send you a picture!
Read the request for info in the Houston Jewish Herald Voice. I have a lovely woodcut entitled Succos by Shirley Moskowitz. For many years It hung in the living room of my mother Ethel Slipakoff’s home………..when she died in 1998 I became the owner!
We just saw Ruth’s article on her mother, and family, in the Jewish Exponent here in Philadelphia. The exhibit and visit in Nocara sound just fabulous. We have been out of touch for a long time, too long. Where are you all, especially Jake? Warm regards for the new year.
