Happy Mother's Day

This photo was taken in July, 1949 during a vacation at the farmhouse near Warrensburg, New York belonging to David & Rose Berenberg. There are three mothers and three fathers in the photo. The mothers are (clockwise from the left) Naomi Berenberg Leavitt, Anna Mutterperl Leavitt, and Nancy Leavitt Matus. The fathers are Herbert M. Leavitt, Max A. Leavitt, and Jonathan D. Leavitt. Only three of the six people are still living.

Even back in the 1940's it was clear who in the family were the Sad Sacks and who were the Good-Time Charlies.—JDL
