Shirlee Glasser Glazer 1921 - 2006

Grandmother Shirlee Glazer passed on Friday, the first night of Hanukkah

My grandparents first met at a Virginia frat party in 1936. Who knew they even had fraternities back then? I take pride that all Glazers can trace their origins to an appropriately festive beginning. Briding the generations and techonologies, here they are vacationing in Bermuda after my Grandfather returned from WWII ('41-'45).
