Notes |
- “Sam Yahrbloom was my Uncle. He was married to my Aunt Min. They were in the garment and, I believe, handbag business. When business began difficult for them in New York they moved to Caracas, Venezuela for 10 – 15 years, and apparently made enough money down there for them to retire when they came back to the United States. I remember seeing them off when they took the boat to Venezuela in probably the 1950’s or early 60’s. Sam was a short, reasonably jovial guy. He passed away about 10-12 years before Aunt Min. He died of a heart attack while driving. Apparently he was not feeling well, pulled the car over and died. The irony is that Uncle Sam was probably one of the worst driver’s on the road.” [1]
