Mom and Marvin
|
Dad and Stepmom
|
| Given our long and somewhat trecherous migration from the former Soviet Union to the San Fancisco Bay Area, I consider myself very fotunate to have a lot of family around. My dad, Alex, and stepmom, Alex (yes, it does get a little confusing) live nearby in Sunnyvale. My mom, Raisa, and stepdad, Marvin (much less confusing) also live within a drive's distance in San Jose. |
I have two quasi-brothers. There's my step-brother, Dan,
pictured, and my half-brother Sam, who has his
own page. So please help me out here - how much is a half and a step?
Is it more than one? We are a tad unusual in that there is an 8 year
gap between Dan and myself, and a 22 year gap between Sam and me. Most
siblings are packed a tad closer together.
I am also very
happy to have my grandmother, Sarra, living
close by in Los Angeles. Recently she celebrated her 82nd
birthday. Most things I am can be attributed to her.
My mom's parents, Boris and Lena, recently immigrated from the Ukraine and now live in Brooklyn, New York, among many other friends and more distant relatives from the town of Chernovtsy.
