Irwin Collier-1's comment on the death of Irwin Korda-1's mother:

"When Marie [Marie Mitz-2] died my Mother [Anna Korda-2] went to Chicago to take care of Irwin [Irwin Korda-1] I was named after Irwin."

Thus, dear reader,we discover the origin of the baptismal name of your blogmeister, Irwin Collier-0.

Irwin Collier-0 is the baby. Antoinette Bober-1 is wearing the "Mexico" hat. Pearl Grendziak-2 appears to be the one wearing the "On My Ass" hat. Not sure whether the woman sporting the "Pancho" hat is Mary Grendziak-2 or Helen Grendziak-2, Pearl's sisters closest in age to her.

No animals were hurt in the making of this photograph.
