Marcel and Midnight,
the kitty he found in family's NY garden. Marcel immediately adopted the stray kitty, took it to vet (because his brother Charlie hit kitty with his wheelchair), and bought an airplane ticket and airplane cage for it, and brought it home where he bought furniture for kitty. Marcel said that he kept the kitty in his shirt, and not in the required cage in the airplane.
(Everyone claimed that "Marcel was like a cat with 9 lives".)

Marcel golfing in our home hallway
I finally caught him in the act.
At least there were no windows to break in the hallway,
just carpeting to ruin.
(Marcel's mother needlepointed the framed musicians at far end of hallway.)
(I wove the weavings hanging in hallway.)

After choosing the undeveloped greater grave location because Marcel wanted a standing monument stone,
I chose the specific site on paper because it is # 118. Chai.
The "Krauthammer" family named 'pillow block' is slightly tilted but definitely not the upright stone we were told could be here.

Card photo
sent to Joy, June 2018 by a "a member of Congregation Ohav Zedek, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
"The reason I'm reaching out is because I found an interesting postcard, a scan attached below, that the Rabbi of our synagogue showed me today. Apparently it is from Marcel's bar mitzvah that took place here, when Rabbi Adams was the Rabbi in the 1950's. The postcard was stuck in one of his books, which we still have in the library."
"I found mention in our records of a Naftali and Chaya Krauthammer* as well along with their yahrtzeit dates in Hebrew (but no year)." -DI
