Thank you for sharing it. I won't wish you a "happy" birthday? though I will raise my coffee cup, and remove my cap, in honor of the anniversary your birth and your father's passing? My father's father, a democratic socialist - by all accounts - also came from that part of Eastern Europe. George Lottermoser's immigration papers state his nationality as Russian. My father was investigated during the McCarthy 50's - due to the combination of his union membership and his father's country of origin. I too have an FBI dossier - which I received a copy of through the Freedom of Information Act - though due more to my activism during the 60s and 70s than to my paternal lineage.
