An heirloom

If you ever lived in Brooklyn or visited relatives there growing up, this book brings it all back to you. On the bottom of page 244, I was surprised to find a picture of my Grandma Josie, sitting in front of her house as she had throughout her life. Grandma is gone now . . . but she is forever immortalized in this book.
