At the same time, Grandpa Jack (Judah, 1896-1969), wrote that his mother's mother (he didn't name her), "counted more" than his mother's father, "who was a very simple man but a very honest and pious" man. Grandpa Jack wrote that his mother's mother "lived to a great old age, I believe she passed the hundred mark." Grandpa Jack wrote that his mother was the eldest child.

| 714 | Here is an entry from Saul's son-in-law Abraham Sheinaus' memoir: "Mr. S. Cohen, my present uncle by marriage, did not miss a day inquiring whether I was released from the engagment, and to me he said plainly that he would do everything possible under the sun to get me in into his family circle. "As soon as he found that I am released, it came to pass that with a political maneuver he attained his goal, by a prearrangement. He wrote to his brother in law Mr. Saul Orel who resided in Grigaropel, state of Cherson (40 vierst from Tiraspol) [Tiraspol: 2nd largest city in Moldova] that he proposed to my father to meet Mr. S. Orel with his daugther Frime ñ in Tiraspol, and my [father?] accepted the proposition, therefore at a moment's notice they shall leave for Tiraspol and immediately send a telegram to him stating their arrival as per arrangement." "Their answer was: Being the girl is nice and her father a lernd and a witty man, both of them made a good impression on them and if the cash dowery was not high enough, it will be counter balanced by the obligation of Mr. Orel to give to the married couple unlimited support (Eibige Kest), and I will be the sole manager of his established wholesale and retail licquor buisiness, aside from his eight thousant ruble, outstanding among the inhabitants of the German colony, Glikstall, because all his children are married and the girl is the only child living with her parents.* | OREL, Saul (I866)

| 720 | History of Caldwell and Livingston Counties, Missouri Saint Louis: National Historic Company, 1886 P. 1031 Jonathan J. Dryden (Deceased) On the 13th of November, 1855, there died, at his home in Livingston county, Mo., a man who had been a resident of this county for fifteen years, and whose name had stood from the beginning without reproach ñ Jonathan J. Dryden. So many of his children have become prominently identified with the affairs of this county, that it is but proper a sketch of his life should be inserted here. Originally from Sullivan county, Tenn., he was born November 15, 1813. In 1838 he removed to Missouri, locating in Daviess county. Previous to that time he had served as a soldier in the Florida War in 1836 and 1837, from which he was honorably discharged, and for his services he received a land warrant. After his settlement in Daviess county he took active and deep interest in its welfare, and, besides his connection with its agricultural affairs, was engaged in school teaching and also became well known in an official capacity. Besides being assessor he was sheriff in 1854, his election to that office being by the largest majority ever bestowed upon a candidate for that position. His death occurred while he was discharging the duties of that office, and his loss was the more keenly felt because it was known that a good and useful man had departed. His wife was formerly Caroline L. Dryden, a native of Washington county, Va., and daughter of William and Sarah Dryden. The latterís parents were Francis and Sarah Berry, Virginians by birth. Mrs. Caroline Dryden was born in 1813, and in 1830 accompanied her fatherís family to Chariton county, Mo., moving thence to Daviess county. The father was a farmer and blacksmith, and after moving to Linn county, he remained there until his death in 1860; his wife survived until 1874, dying in the same county. Fifteen children were in their family, twelve of whom grew to maturity: Nathaniel J., Constantine, Augustine, Caroline L., Eliza A., Sallie H., William W., Thomas L., Louisa, Oscar Decatur, Virginia A., and John Q. Jonathan Dryden and wife had given them five children: David N., born January 6, 1843; William L, now deceased; Louisa J., wife of John R. Brown; Thomas A., born January 4, 1851, and John R., born July 4, 1854. Mr. D. was a participant in both the Mormon and Heatherly Wars. All his children are members of the M. E. Church South. Thomas A. Dryden, at whose insistence this sketch is inserted, is closely occupied in tilling the soil here, and, on account of his thorough acquaintance with the calling, is making it a success. | DRYDEN, Jonathan J (I1891)

| 721 | History of William Drennan and Mary Thomas in Sangamon County, IL William and Mary were married about 1790. Six of their children were born in the Pendelton district (South Carolina), and they moved to Caldwell county, KY, about 1803, where they had six children. In the fall of 1817, they moved to Illinois, first stopping on Wood river, about two miles from Alton, in Madison county. Their destination was the San-ga-ma country, but it was more economical to remain idle that winter than to move up, and thus incur the necessity of hauling provisions for themselves and stock. Early in 1818 William Drennan, his half brother, Joseph Drennan, his son-in-law, Joseph Dodds, and George Cox, left their families near Alton, and, with their teams, farming implements, provisions, and all the young men and boys belonging to the families who were able to assist in making a home, started, piloted by a white man named William Moore, who had belonged to a company that had been over the country before, in fighting the Indians. He was called an Indian Ranger. Arriving at Sugar creek, they took a day or two for exploring, and on March 10, 1818, drove to the spot on which William Drennan built his cabin and which proved to be section 32, town 14, range 5 west, when the government made its survey. It is on the northwest side of Sugar creek, and about twelve miles nearly due south of Springfield, and near where the Sugar creek Cumberland Presbyterian church now stands. Immediately after their arrival they built two cabins. One was occupied by George Cox alone. The other was occupied for the summer by William and Joseph Drennan and Joseph Dodds. That was the one spoken of as belonging to William Drennan. As they had not the slightest idea of cultivating the prairie, these three men agreeed to clear all the land they could in one body, and have a crop from it that year in common, with the understanding that before another year they were all to work together until an equal sized piece was cleared for the other two. They cleared the timber from about fifteen acres, fenced it, plowed as well as they could among the roots and stumps with a little short wooden mould board plow, and planted it in corn and pumpkins. The soil in the timber was very light -- so much so that in some places they would almost sink in over their shoes. In fencing this land, they inclosed about three-fourths of an acre of prairie. After they had plowed and planted their crop, one of the men suggested that it was quite a waste to have that under fence and nothing growing on it, and proposed that they break it up and plan something on it. In order to make sure work, they uncoupled one of their wagons, hitched four horses to the forward wheels, and fastened their wooden mould board plow to the axle. They soon found this was a failure. Try as they would, the plow would not center the sod, and they reluctantly gave it up. While they were taking off the team and plow, one of the boys, full of fun and mischief, took up a hoe and began to shave the grass off, saying he could break the prairie with his hoe. That suggested an idea to one of the men, and he, also, took a hoe and began shaving the grass. It was the work of but a few minutes to remove the sod from a spot several feet in diameter. He then called one of the othermen, and proposed that, as they were well advanced with their work, and there were seven or eight of them, and all had hoes, that they call all hands together , and shave the grass from the whole piece, plant something on it, and see what would be the result. The man spoken to first, laughed at the idea as ridiculous, but after studying a moment, he fell in with it, and the men and boys were all called up, and the grass shaved off, holes dug, and corn and pumpkin seed planted. They did not tought it any more; that killed the grass. The crop was fully twice as much in proportion to the area, as that planted among the stumps, and the next spring it broke up the nicest of any land they had ever seen. This taught them an important lesson, and caused them to make greater exertions to induce some one to invent a plow that would break up the prairie. I have this account from the venerable William Drennan, who was one of the young men that assisted in doing the work, and who has lived in sight of the spot to the present time. Several years elapsed before a plow was invented that would do good work at breaking. In the mean time the early settlers continued clearing their land, that they might have it to cultivate, and were always uneasy for fear their timber would be exhausted. There can be but little doubt that the same labor required to destroy the timber on one acre would have shaved the grass from two acres, with no better implements than a hoe. They could, by that means, have had better land to cultivate, twice the quantity of grain raised, and saved their timber, but the probability is they never thought of it. After the provisions they brought with them were exhausted, one fo their number would return south, load a couple of horses with provisions, salt, and other indispensibles, in regular pack saddle style, and bring them to their new home. The distance was between sixty and seventy miles. They brought cows in the spring, and had plenty of milk. Wild honey was abundant, and Mr. Drennan told the writer that two of their number would cut down a hollow tree where bees had stored their wealth, and with a few hours work, would bring in from two to five gallons of honey. While they were doing this, others of their number would be looking for more bee trees, so that they always had four or five trees ahead, and knew just where to go when they needed more honey. For meat, they would hunt as the necessitieis required, some times one, and often all would hunt. In warm weather they would take venison, the breast of turkeys and geese, cut the meat into thin slices, sprinkle a small quantity of salt on it, and dry it on a frame work of sticks about three feet hight, setting the frame in the sun, with a smouldering fire underneath. In this way the meat would soon be cured, and ready for use at any time. This they called jerked meat, a considerable supply of which could be kept on hand. Fresh meat, jerked meat, milk, honey and bread, constituted their bill of fare during the first summer. As trips were made back and forth, some fo the younger sons and those who had families were brought to the new settlements. After the crops were cultivated, the men who had families returned to them, leaving the unmarried men and boys to take care of the property. The four men who came up in the spring, all brought their wives and childern in the fall of that year. Mr. Cox arrived first, Joseph Drennan next, and, William Drennan, with his son-in-law, Joseph Dodds, came together, arriving Dec. 3, 1818. Of the twelve childeren of William Drennan, Sen.--- Mattie, born in South Carolina, married in Kentucky. Samuel William, born Oct 15, 1797, in Pendleton district, SC, came to Kentucky, and from there to Sangamon county with his father, arriving March 10, 1818 in what is now Ball township. He was married May 30, 1822, in Sanagamon county to Margaret Anderson. They had twelve childern, all born in Sanagmon county, viz: James A., born Aug 6, 1828, married Dec 8, 1853, to Rachel Cannan. They have six children, Jannetta F, Mary E, Robert W, Minnie W, Ira and Frederick, and reside in Ball township, five miles northeast of Auburn. Samuel, born Oct. 30, 1829, went to the Pacific coast in 1852, and was married there May 28,1868 to Lousia Fernald, who was born April 4, 1839 in North Berwick, Maine. They have three children, Edith A., Mabel L, and Dora A, and reside in Santa Cruz county, Ca. John T, born Jan 14, 1832, enlisted August 9, 1862 at Chatham, in Co. I, 73d Ill INf, for theree years. He was wounded at the battle of Chickamauga, Sept 20, 1863, lay five days on the battlefied, before medical aid was given. He recovered, but is permanently disabled. He was dischard on account of physical disability, June 16, 1864, and resides with his parents in Ball Township...

| 741 | In 1979, Serafima Asimova wrote to her cousin, Isaac Asimov, from Leningrad, and said that her Grandfather Aaron Asimov and Grandmother Hana Leikin Asimov had six children: Judah, Rachel, Dvosja, Boris, Ephraim and her father, Samuel. Judah (1896 -1969) wrote a recollection of years in Russia and said that Aaron Asimov had been a grain dealer who sold rye, oats, barley and buckwheat. Judah wrote that his father was a great believer in G-d. He wrote that Aaron did not hit his children--except once. Judah was about 18 when he and his father asked the local rabbi to rule in a business dispute between them and another man whom they believed had deceived them. When the Rabbi ruled against Aaron and Judah, Judah objected. Aaron slapped Jack, saying that the decision was the Rabbi's to make and that they would abide by it. Aaron was smart. When a new tax collector came to town, it was Aaron who noticed that the townspeople weren't being given receipts for the money they paid. Instead, the tax collector had them sign a paper after they paid. So Aaron asked for a receipt. The tax collector refused, so Aaron said he would neither pay nor sign. It turned out that the paper everyone was signing was a lease that turned over their property to the tax collector and permitted him to raise their rent at will. So Aaron and the other townspeople took the tax collector to court in a case that went up to the Russian Duma. No one knows how the judge would have decided, however, because the year was 1917, and the Russian Revolution turned everything upside down. Here is an excerpt from a 2006 email from Serafima Asimova, the daughter of Aaron's youngest son, Samuel, referring to the aftermath of the Russian Revolution in the 1920s: "By then, it is the middle of 20 years [1920s], family of grandfather Aaron have deprived with all earned, mills, have forced to go to work ( hi there were 70 years) in collective farm." Serafima also wrote that Aaron went to live in Leningrad with his son, Boris, in later years, and died in a hospital after an operation. | ASIMOV, Aaron Menachem (I64)

| 746 | In his written recollections, Hana's son, Judah "Jack" Asimov (1896-1969) writes that his mother (whom he doesn't name) was the eldest of 8, with 2 sisters and 5 brothers. Here is what Judah Asimov wrote: "The eight children were all very smart people." "The oldest brother was NOCHUM JACOB." (clever. grew a cucumber inside a bottle, then cut off the stem. Surprised the neighbors). "Another brother was SCHMEREL." (ordained to be a rabbi, but preferred to be a businessman.) "Another brother was ELIE." (great scholar. Had a Russian high school diploma -- a tough course of study. From 1912-14, he was a salesman for a coal mining co, and a newspaper correspondent in the city of Bachmut which has a new name now. ) Judah writes that his mother was well versed in Jewish ritual and prayed all the time with other women who didn't know how as much as she did. She was also very generous, and known for giving more food to beggars than the typical slice of bread or half kopek. She also gave yogurt, cheese and a piece of "shave" or herring. The family also had a couple of cows. Judah also writes: "I traveled to CHISLAVITCHI. That is the town where my mother’s mother and her brother lived..." Irina Leikin, who is descended from Moshe Leikin (a brother of Hana?), also said the Leikins were from Hislavitchi. Hana's granddaughter, Serafima Asimov, the daughter of Hana's son Samuel, writes in a 2006 email that "Anna Leikin [wife of Isaac Leikin] who came, too, either from Petrovitch or from Hislavitch.” Serafima also wrote in that email: "My grandmother Hanna who…was very beautiful - was never photographed." And in a 2016 email: “She was very beautiful, blue-eyed little woman. She had never been photographed. Children of (her were) loved and treasured. Hana Leikin explains when another's people kiss and father mother - scolds - is unequally. I this know on the memories of my dad Samuel Asimov. It is necessary to somehow write everything .... Time flies very quickly ….” Here is what Judah wrote about his mother: "My Father & Mother To talk about my father (ZL), I must start with my mother. She came from a family in which her mother counted more than her father, who was a very simple man but also very honest and pious. My grandmother, his wife, lived to a great old age. I believe she passed the hundred mark. She had 8 children. My mother was the oldest, and she had two sisters and five brothers. They where all very smart people. For example, when the oldest of the brothers, Nochum Jacob, was about 11 years old, he made a little box and polished it and painted it. Inside, he fit a quart bottle and took it to their garden where they grew all kinds of vegetables for their use. He took a bud from a cucumber, placed it inside the bottle, and watched it grow. When he decided it was big enough, he cut the stem off, leaving that cucumber inside the bottle. He then filled it with preserves to make it last, and startled the neighborhood. How did he put such a cucumber inside such a small hole? This was an example of how all of them were smart people. But my motherís brother Schmerel had (SMICHO OF HEIROO), which means he was ordained to be a rabbi but he preferred to be a businessman. Her brother Elie, besides being a great scholar in Talmud, also had a Russian high school diploma. That was more education than at an American high school. From 1912 to 1914, he was a salesman for a coal mining company and a correspondent with a paper in the city of Bachmut, which now has a new name that I donít know. That is the family my mother descended from. My mother was well versed in Jewish ritual. She used to pray all kind of prayers with other women who did not know how. In her charities, she was the most outstanding woman. In my time, there were poor Jews who used to go from town to town begging. The usual donation was half a kopek or a piece of bread. But my mother did not give the usual. All the beggars knew that. They used to come to her not when they were in the neighborhood but when they felt hungry. And my mother used to feed them with what you would call here yogurt, and cheese. To make all of her preparations, we used to have our own two cows. Of course, sometimes she would give a plate of ìschave,î or a piece of herring. But she always fed everybody who came to here door. Besides, my father (ZL) used to bring an ìoirech,î a guest, for Saturday for three meals. I remember once a preacher came to our town and my father (ZL) liked his preaching, so he invited him to come for Pesach [Passover]. But usually before Pesach the snow started melting, so he told the preacher to come two weeks before. And two weeks after Pesach, it was impossible to leave. So we had him for five weeks living with us in our house. One more thing happened, while I am telling how my mother was charitable. A preacher came to our town, and for the first time in my 10 or 11 years, I saw a preacher, dressed in a white shirt with a tie and good clothes, who wouldnít sting unless somebody guaranteed 15 rubles, an unheard of sum of money at that time. But his name meant something to my father (ZL), and he guaranteed the sum of money. But when he went collecting, the townspeople did not want to give more for this preacher than for any other one. My mother thought over the situation and told my father (zl) to pay the full sum himself because she said the people would think now that if they gave, they would be giving for [my father]. The people had no obligation, and she said we would somehow get along if we paid out that much money ourselves and we would no longer ask for anything from anybody else. There were many times when she could have spent the charity money she divided for her own needs. But to her, a kopec was never better spent than for charity." | LEIKIN, Hanna (I3)

| 747 | In his written recollections, Judah (Jack) Asimov, 1896-1969, wrote that his great-grandfather, Abraham Ber, died when Jack was 3 years old, but that he remembers being brought over to the death bed to be blessed, and that Abraham Ber gave him some sort of red jelly. That's all he remembered and could not visualize the old man's face. But Jack remembered hearing stories that A.B. was smart, a great scholar, a "great and charitable man in town" and, "like his predecessors, a dealer in rye and other products." A.B. and his first wife had 12 children -- all but the youngest, Mendel, died. So Mendel was, of course, precious to Abraham Ber. Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992) quotes his father, Jack, in "In Memory Yet Green" regarding Abraham Ber: "The stories I heard about him were that he was a natural-born smart man, and that he was a great scholar. ... Like his predecessors, he was a dealer in rye and other products, and he was well known in town as a great and charitable man." | ASIMOV, Abraham Ber (I2)

He wrote: "Her brother Elie, besides being a great scholar in Talmud, also had a Russian high school diploma. That was more education than at an American high school. From 1912 to 1914, he was a salesman for a coal mining company and a correspondent with a paper in the city of Bachmut, which now has a new name that I donít know. That is the family my mother descended from." | LEIKIN, Elijah (Elie) (I16)

| 765 | INQUEST HELD ON DEATH OF W. FERNALD BYRNE AT BEACH An inquest was held on the death of a 15 year old son of Walter C Byrne yesterday at the Wesendorf & Sons undertaking parlors, notes being taken by Mrs. Green, official court reporter while the questioning of witnesses was done by the coroner, George W Smith. S Matir, representing the United States Fidelity & Casualty company, and also Walter C Byrne, who asked a number of questions. Dr. Cowden was the first witness called upon and told of being called to the beach by the accident and what he found on arriving. He stated that he was called about 10:25 Saturday night and arrived about ten minutes after the accident. Young Byrne was dead when he arrived, and they were taking car from over the body. He stated he was lying on his back between the rails, with his feet pointing toward the stopping place of the train, and stated there were 8 or 10 cars in the train, eight passing over his body. Q. by George Smith: What are the conditions as to lighting? A. There are lights where the car stops. Q. Did you talk with any of the management? A. Yes, I talked with the manager of the train. He said just as the cars got over the hill he saw the body of the boy in the air. He applied the breaks and stopped the train. Q. by Mr. Byrne: What is the condition of the platform? Is it finished off? A. It is about 75 feet from where the platform is. It was a rough condition there. Dr. Cowden also stated that the boy was crushed in the head and chest. Adolph Brutt, brakeman of the train, was next called and told how long he had been engaged in his present occupation, and in answer to questions from Attorney Smith stated that this dipper was practically the same as the one in San Francisco. He stated there were ten cars in the train and ten people riding them. He stated the brakes are operated from a station and on being asked if he could see the train all the way around stated he could not. Q. by George Smith: You are the only man in charge, are you not? A. Of the brakes yes. Q. This is the only means of stopping the train? A. Yes, sir. Q. Did you see the accident? A. I heard the train coming and looked at the brakes and saw they were set, and when I looked up I saw the body in the air. I applied the brakes immediately. Q. When you saw the body in the air, was the train over the rise? A. Yes, it had come over the top. Q. What is the average speed of a train of this character? A. The average speed is about 35 miles an hour. Q. What is the highest speed you could reach? A. That I could not say. Q. Does it reach a speed of 90 miles an hour? A. That I do not know. Q. The thrill is to have the people shoot around? A. Yes, sir. Q. How far did the train travel before it stopped? A. 15 feet. He stated that the brakes are frequently tested and that his hours of work were from ten in the morning until 10:30. He also stated that the accident happened at 10:20 pm. Q. by Mr. Byrne: Is there only one point where the emergency can be applied? A. Yes, at the station. Q. What was the approximate speed where this accident occurred? A. 20 or 25 miles an hour. S. Muir of the United States Fidelity & Guarantee company also questioned a number of witnesses. Q. by Mr. Muir: How many trips do you think the boy had taken before he was killed? A. About six trips. (This was found to be wrong as Nome Ferguson testified that they had only taken three trips in all). George Reed, manager of the dipper, and two other witnesses were questioned. Nome Ferguson, a school boy 16 years of age, was called to the stand and testified as follows: “We got on a car and rode twice in the back seat. Started to go away and then went into the front seat. Going down we stood up a couple of times and at the top above the station were were standing before starting to make the turn. We had hold of the bar. Then were standing up until we came to the turn that starts to come back and sat down at that turn and stood up again right before the last ride and at the top I sat down at that place. I don’t remember whether he was standing or not. At the top of the rise I have a faint recollection of his going over. The momentum threw me off the seat. Q. When you came up that last raise, were you standing up at the time? A. No. Q. Was he standing up? A. I can not say. Q. When you stood up, did you stand on the floor? A. On the floor. At 12:30 the jury was excused until 1 o’clock in order that they could view the dipper and see where the accident occurred, and at 1 o’clock after deliberating, the verdict was as follows: “Accident resulting in crushed skull, broken neck and crushed chest. This accident being caused on the giant dipper at the beach.” Walter Fernald Byrne was a boy well liked by all and particularly bright in his studies at the high school, where he was in his junior year, and the sympathy of a host of friends goes out bereaved father, mother, and children. Captain Ryland Drennan, uncle of the boy, was also present at the inquest. (Santa Cruz Morning Sentinel, Sep 22, 1924) | BYRNE, Walter Fernald (I311)

| 766 | Interesting piece from Sports Illustrated, circa 1983. Thomas working in Art Director role, and also mentions his wife, Fortunata, as an Editor at Discover Magazine. Original article archive found here: https://www.si.com/vault/1983/09/01/644090/letter-from-the-publisher I learned pretty quick that I couldn't eat and paint at the same time," says Tom Vanderschmidt of his days as an aspiring abstract expressionist in 1950s New York City. "Between classes at Cooper Union, I used to hang out at the old Cedar Bar in Greenwich Village. It was the closest thing to an artists' bo?Æte you could find in America—Franz Kline, Jackson Pollock and that crowd were there—and I hoped to pick up some pointers on painting. But all they did was slosh whiskey and argue about what pony to bet in the seventh at Aqueduct." A mite disillusioned, Vanderschmidt channeled his creative impulses in other directions—first as a copy boy at TIME, later as a member of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED's art staff and then as our associate director of photography. Tom left the staff in 1978 to freelance but returned last year to serve as art director of our first Football Spectacular. This year he returned for another hitch, working closely with football editors Joe Marshall (pro) and Bill Colson (college), Deputy Production Manager George Infante, Copy Coordinator Kate Scott and the picture staff. Tom's job: to oversee the entire "look" of the issue. "Abstract expressionism it ain't," he says. "Actually, it's more like concrete dynamism." For a man who has to sift through some 2,000 pictures to find those precious few that convey the essence of America's most slambang sport, it may seem odd that Vanderschmidt, 47, never saw a football game until he was in his late 30s. "I know how to play cricket, though," he says. "I'll bet you don't." That's because he spent most of his childhood in England. His father, Fred Vanderschmidt, was a foreign correspondent and bureau chief in London for the Associated Press and Newsweek and eventually became chief of Newsweek's European correspondents. "There was a special mystique about foreign correspondents in those days," he says. "My dad had a trench coat, a Bogie hat, the works." Vanderschmidt's European boyhood left its marks: He developed a taste for Continental cuisine and foreign sports cars. He is the proud papa of a '67 Lancia Fulvia in British racing green that currently resides in semiretirement at his country place in Sharon, Conn. "The town recently raised my property tax on that car from $2.50 to $70," he complains. "They said a machine of that marque and vintage is constantly gaining in value." The tax on haute cuisine is paid in pounds, not dollars. "I do all the cooking in the family," Vanderschmidt says, "from pot-au-feu to pastries. I got started as a kid. We had a villa in Cannes, so I was corrupted early. English cooking is of course dreadful, and my mother didn't care much for kitchens, so when we got back to Britain I'd mess around with the pots and pans trying to recapture the tastes we'd had to leave behind in the South of France." The family he cooks for these days includes his mellifluously named wife, Fortunata Sydnor Trapnell Vanderschmidt, who is the assistant managing editor of DISCOVER, and their rambunctious tomcat Booze (so named for his habit of nosing in on Tom's preprandial cocktail). Like many fine chefs, Vanderschmidt pays the price of his art in added girth. "I'm afraid I look like a burgher in a Frans Hals portrait," he says. "But everyone at SI is so fit that someone has to be the exception." Not to worry, Tom. There's no sense jogging when you can drive over in your Lancia. | Family: VANDERSCHMIDT, Thomas W / TRAPNELL, Fortunata Sydnor (F1416)

| 769 | Isaac Berman was named after his grandfather, Isaac Berman, writes Serafima Asimova. So was Isaac Asimov. Serafima also writes that after the war, Rachel's "younger son Isaac Berman has returned to Borovitch." She adds that her father, Samuel, thought that "Isaac is very talented [so] to him it is necessary to study at the Leningrad university...Isaac very talented engineer on electric networks was." Able to play several musical instruments, writes Julia Svetlova | BERMAN, Isaac (I418)
|
| 770 | Isaac Berman, loved his children very much, according to the recollections of his son-in-law, Judah (Jack) Asimov, 1896-1969, who named his first child after Isaac Berman. Isaac Berman was a great Talmudic scholar, and Petrovichi residents spoke of him reverently. In an argument, for example, if someone remembered that Reb Isaac Berman had explained the point this way or that, the argument would come to an end -- and this in a town filled with great scholars. Judah writes that with his first wife, Isaac Berman had "some sons and a daughter, from which I knew two: David and Uncle Joseph. I have heard about another son, Mordechai." He refers to Anna Berman as the "little sister" of Mordechai. Anna Berman was the daughter of Isaac and his second wife, Tamara. Judah writes that Anna had "three brothers all younger than her." Judah writes that Joseph Berman left Petrovichi when his younger half sister, Anna, was a baby. Isaac Berman, who apparently died in his 50s, had 8 children, possibly in this order: Unknown daughter, Mordechai, Joseph, David, Anna, Girsh, Natan, unknown son. | BERMAN, Isaac (I20)
