I lived in Mount Greenwood, a part of Chicago, from the age of five until I was married.
Our home was a small, two story brick house.
The Grade School I attended, Mount Greenwood, was across the street and half a block away.


Herman Popkin


When Herman Popkin was born on July 25, 1913, in Chicago, Illinois, his father, Heinrich, was 21 and his mother, Mary, was 23. He had three daughters with Lois. He died on October 19, 1967, in Chicago, IL  at the age of 54.

Herman had a problem with his eyes so that in every photo taken of him he appears to have turned his head slightly.
He suffered from heart disease most of his adult life.
