Pictures of Grandpa Cohn
|
|
|
|
In response to a request from a possible relative (we're not sure), I'm posting some pictures of my grandfather, Harry L. Cohn of Altoona, Pennsylvania, who is not the Harry Cohn of movie mogul fame. Harry was the second son of Benjamin Cohn, a descendent of the Kavarsky lineage in Russia. Benjamin Cohn founded Independent Oil Company in Pennsylvania, which was eventually sold to what is now Exxon-Mobil. Harry Cohn, born October 19, 1892 married Emma Lydia Marx of Braddock, Pennsylvania in 1918 or 1919. Harry died on December 7, 1961 at the age of 69.

More Spring Week69 viewsOur Spring Week theme for East Halls was Florida, that far-off, exotic place that no one knew
much about, especially the idiot who designed the pink papier mache monkey crawling up that
drooping pseudo-palm tree. Well, and the two of us on the third floor of East E who actually
lived in the Sunshine State.

Lindenmuth91 viewsThe irascible Randall Lindenmuth relaxing on the very comfortable beds that were issued to
us by Housing. Those bedspreads were very colorful and felt like they were made of some
sort of sandpaper. I wonder if they're still in service today, 40 years later?

My Brother and I57 viewsI'm on the left. My brother is picking his nose on the right. We were in Grandma's sun parlor. That's where kids were allowed to be. The living room was for grownups.

My 1973 Spitfire83 viewsHere's the car I owned during my nearly five year stay in the Bahamas. I bought the car brand new in 1972 for right around $3000. (Those were the days.) I had a great time with this little roadster. At one point while I was working late at the hotel, I came out to my parking space and found that the windshield had been stolen.

Kubany75 viewsWalt Kubany, of Pershing Rifles fame. Walt frequently could be
seen spit-shining his shoes or polishing his helmet. The rest
of us frequently polished our helmets, too, but we usually did it in private.

Joel and I Leave the House for School34 viewsThis would have had to be around 1958 or 1959. Here we are in our school clothes standing on the steps in front of our house at 1207 Beechwood Court in Pittsburgh.Feb 11, 2007

Mama, Joel, and I at Atlantic City24 viewsThis had to be around 1953, I believe. This was our first and last out-of-town vacation together as a family. Thus, this was my only construction experience building sand castles. Note the killer Ray-Bans all around.Feb 11, 2007

My Brother Joel and I with Father and Grandfather40 viewsIn front, that's Joel and I; behind, my father (cigarette in mouth--he eventually died of lung cancer), the late Irvin Goldfarb (1920 - 1999) and his late father Charlie Goldfarb (1889 - 1951). This picture was probably taken in the spring or summer of 1950. Photo taken outside my grandparents' residence at 26th and Maple in Altoona, Pennsylvania.Feb 11, 2007

Eddie and Me28 viewsMy earliest childhood friend was Eddie Dorfzaun, from down the street on King Avenue. Here, Eddie and I mug for the camera in front of the spite fence built by Daddy Irvin to provide "privacy" from the prying eyes of the Thomases next door. (Like anyone cared, already.) Photo by Mama, but I cropped out the obligatory shadow.Feb 11, 2007

Me and Butchy23 viewsAlthough Butchy had a tricycle of his own, he is seen here hitching a ride on mine. This photo was taken ca. 1950 or 1951, and the shadow of Mama is plainly evident, as it is in all of her pictures, because someone told her that you are supposed to take pictures with the sun shining over your left shoulder.Feb 11, 2007
