Al's sister Jean was my friend's mom. Al's sister died about 2 years, she was close to 100. His nephew told me some stories that haven't been heard elsewhere. Tannenbaum did surface in Atlanta and worked as a lampshade salesman. I believe his brother, or another relative, owned the company.Hitman23https://www.blogger.com/profile/07959490029153377374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319167556245613863.post-37388228163412519442016-05-30T21:01:26.021-04:002016-05-30T21:01:26.021-04:00david I'm also related to al through marriagedavid I'm also related to al through marriage Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17087644998027918580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319167556245613863.post-73758437341996232152016-03-19T09:12:44.413-04:002016-03-19T09:12:44.413-04:00yes it is...

Al was my great uncle and I am interested in finding out more about him other than family stories.David Tannenbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792315542166158644noreply@blogger.com
