Irving Kleinmann and work colleagues

This is a picture of my brother Irving Kleinmann (in the middle) when he was working as a waiter in the USA with his friends from work. The photo was taken in 1929.

My brother Nabel was born in 1900. In 1929 he went to America and worked as a servant. There he changed his name to Irving. He worked as a manager after World War II. He was married to Ester, who was born in New York in 1912. She died in 1999 in Florida. Irving died in 1986 from Parkinson's disease, also in Florida.
