Individual Details
Lena S Novogrodsky
(22 May 1883 - 2 Jul 1979)
"My Great Grandmother was Lena Turkel. "
"One of my fondest memories of her is when I was
sitting in a parlor in an apartment in NYC, holding
her hand and talking with her, and playing with the
ring that was on her finger. Her ring was not tight
on her finger and would spin easily, but the ring
would not come off because her knuckles were too
large."
"In order to get to this apartment in NYC, you needed
to walk through a courtyard with a large garden. Then
you would turn right, walk through the garden and into
the building. After that I don't remember. Having
grown up in Long Island, I thought this large secluded
garden was very special."
