Love the Gerbeaud’s memory - makes the memory of sitting there with Jon and the girls last year even more meaningful (a man complimented us on how well behaved the girls were, and how refreshing it was not to see kids on tablets. As he walked away, I think Harper threw food at Isabel). And I’m sure we’ll be sitting there ourselves in June, too!
I think she was a professional photographer. I think she also did fashion/clothes as well. She owned a shop in Budapest. We have portraits that she did, though not too many
Wondering whether it was "eiskaffee", which I found out the hard way is coffee (usually lukewarm) with ice cream in it versus the iced coffee we've come to know in the US....
Great new information about Opapa and Laci! All news to me. ... Like Gina I was wondering who the girl in the picture was. Hard to believe that was Matyi!
Loved reading these letters. So sorry that Opapa’s handwriting changed from gorgeous in age 10 to mildly illegible in adulthood! Wow—that’s Matyi Are there any other photos of him?
Love this! What wonderful insights into a youthful Opapa.
Is Opapa the young boy in a striped shirt in the picture? And who is the young girl in the other picture? She's so glamorous! I see Lolo's eyes in that picture.
That handwriting at age 7! Incredible!

And was Margit an amateur or professional photographer? How much of her photography survives and in what format?
