hen Herb Kaufman's daughters Ilene and Patty were old enough to type, they
hand typed yahrzeit notices and envelopes on an IBM Selectric typewriter.
Knowing Ira Kaufman's great grandson Chad and great granddaughter Stephanie were
monitoring the chapel's Web site and answering e-mail inquires, we don't have to imagine
the smile on Ira's face, we just look
at Grandpa Herbie.
