Irv Jaker

 

 

A story from PJ:

 

Out of all the relatives that visited us in the Poconos it was clear that Irv enjoyed it the most. 

At a time when Ken and I had to be bribed to help with the gardening, he eagerly joined in.   

Of course I'm not sure that you can call removing rocks to create a path through the trees, gardening.  But either way his efforts were so appreciated that Sue named a path after him - it has been known ever since as "Uncle Irv's short cut."

 

From Bette - a photo from Ethel Selmonsky Jaker's collection:

Written on the back of the photo:

"At the Lehrer's in the Poconos.  Irv made this in the fall of 1974 - PJ and Kenneth made the sign."
