Then and Now It's been a long journey for us!
Us being the Mountains, Roger Michael (Mike) and Sandie. We have crisscrossed this great country many times, for many reasons. Mike was born in Ashtabula, OH,
and I was born in Allentown, PA.
Mike's parents, Sid and Marge,
moved to Eagle Rock,
CA, where Mike eventually graduated from Eagle Rock High School. Henry Joseph Frederick Cohen and
Jane Baumer Schwarz managed to stay
to stay together long enough to create me .
They were divorced about four years later and Mother and I
moved to Easton,
where I graduated from Easton High School.
Fate has bonded us together; Fate will never tear us apart. Because of you, I know that fate must exist. You are living proof. Although I may not say it often, I value you immensely. Thank you for being my friend.
"Stories are for joining the
past to the future. Stories are for those late hours
when you can't remember how you got from where
you were to where you are. Stories are for
eternity where memories are erased, when
there is nothing to remember except the story.
-Tim O'Brien, "The Things They Carried"
"I expect to pass through life but once.
If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show,
or any good I can do to any fellow being,
let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it,
as I shall not pass this way again."
-William Penn
This page is truly a labor of love. Unlike most normal people, I have no idea who my family is. I've had virtually no luck finding any reference to the births of any of my known relatives. I have a strong hope that someone surfing the 'net finds this page and recognizes some of the names and can fill in the blanks in my life.
