"The attached
photo, dated Fall 1944, shows (l. to r.) my brother Joel Carp, my mother
Helen Carp, my grandfather (her father) Joseph Goldstein, and myself.
(My mother's original family name, Mariansky, was changed to Goldstein by an
Ellis Island immigration clerk in the 1880s who couldn't spell the name."
