Thank you, Michele,

I loved your description of your grampa's gold tooth it reminded me that my father also had a gold tooth. Do you know I never asked him about it.

I appreciate your reading & responding.

Please continue...writing about the families, of our families.

I think you'd you like "The Rocking Rooming house of the Rockaways".

It is about the immigrants who took their families to escape the tenements of NYC to Rockaway Beach. They would rent "a room" with a community kitchen to share for 13 families.

Times long gone...
