No, rest assured that they didn't hire me. On the contrary, because of this blog, they would like to drag me in front of an eager district magistrate, and throw the book at me.
However, they did hire my father's Uncle Harry in about 1935. At that time, same time that they were building the magnificent WPA structures which the city is now allowing to go to seed, Earl Price was the City Forester, and in charge of maintaining the parks.
By 1900, my great grandparents and all their offspring were living in the Ward. I'm now the last Molovinsky left in Allentown, so this blog cannot embarrass any family members. It can, however, if I do my job correctly, cause some distress among those who are failing to properly honor the city's history.

Uncle Harry doesn’t look dour at all. Was he adopted?
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, cool photo. November of 1939. How much things would be changing for them in a couple of years.
Any idea where the photo was taken? Is it all family members?
