Having the good fortune to grow up in a wonderful neighborhood is a great way to learn what being part of a community looks and feels like. We came across this photo (circa 1958) when my brothers and I digitized our family slide collection. It seems somehow remarkable that after more than 50 years I was able to share this moment in time with three of the nine people captured by our Dad's camera. Joel is the only one who lives in Greenwich and we're the only two still in Connecticut. Janet and Joel followed in their father's footsteps and became lawyers. Maggi's brother, Lee, served in Viet Nam. Judy and Lee both succumbed to cancer. While none of us stayed in touch with Ruthie, we learned a lot about her family when a book about her dad was published in 1998: Bombshell: The Secret Story of America's Unknown Atomic Spy.
