There was a previous photo of Uncle David posted a couple of years ago, but this one captures more the person Elizabeth and I knew in the 1960s and 70s. He lived in Little Italy (on Sullivan St.) in Manhattan, and Elizabeth worked with him at the Equitable. He had a lot of hobbies that he took seriously, and photography was one of them. These pictures were probably taken in Estes Park, Colorado. There have been a few photos already posted from there, since Elizabeth's father's family often vacationed there.
The only picture previously posted of Dorothy Good, Elizabeth's grandmother (for whom Dora is named), didn't give a real sense of what she looked like. But here is a picture of her taken, I think, at the same time as the above, undoubtedly by Uncle David. Next to Elizabeth's grandmother is Elizabeth's grandfather, and their son (and thus David's brother), Tony, is in the back.

Elizabeth's Uncle David (unknown place, probably Lincoln, NE, unknown date, probably about 1937)
This is Elizabeth's beloved uncle David. He lived in NY while we were in college and in our 20s, and we knew him well, in fact Elizabeth worked with him at The Equitable. He was a mathematician, and found his work as an actuary. We have lots of stories... Anyway, Dave is named after him (with a shout-out also to my grandfather Fisher's middle name). I've got all my aunts and uncles here, and I'm trying to find all of Elizabeth's.
