My great-grandfather was Max Shapiro. My son Max is named after Max Shapiro. My Nana Molly (Shapiro) Cohen was his daughter from his 1st marriage, born in 1913 in Odessa, Ukraine. Bernard & Harold Shapiro were born to his 2nd wife in Montreal in 1935.

Your article was very evocative for me. Many family events were celebrated at Ruby Foos by us too, even after the business was sold.

Thank you for writing this article. I enjoyed it & will pass it on to my mom, uncle, great uncles & cousins. Cheers!

Hilarie that is so cool! thanks for getting in touch, let me know what your mom and the others thought of it, I’d love to hear more about the Shapiro clan and those times.
