Today would have been Dad's birthday. Born in New York City in 1909, Harold was the second child of Isaac Burk and Henrietta Mahler Burk. At this time, Isaac was moving between Montreal and New York City, going where his carpenter skills won him work, often with his family in tow.
I'm still searching for Isaac's siblings and trying to identify his hometown in Eastern Europe.
Despite all this travel, Harold graduated from P.S. 171 in Manhattan (now the Patrick Henry School) in June, 1923.
The photo at left is probably his grad photo. Happy birthday, Dad the Grad! (PS: This is Sorting Saturday because my Queens Cuz found his mother's copy of Dad's Grad photo today--the identical photo.)
