Papa Ben at Ben's Restaurant

The most amazing thing happened this weekend. We visited my daughter on the east coast of Florida. She brought us to a delicious restaurant where the food was great. Well the name of the restaurant is Ben's .

Now my dad's name was Ben as well. Shortly after we arrived she suggested that I look up near the ceiling. What I saw was unbelievable! My dad's entire family was in a picture . He was maybe eight years old. I had seen the picture in a book written by Mandy Patimkin. How the restaurant got the picture is a real puzzle. I shall probably write to them to find out.

My aunt donated many pictures to the Conn. Historical Society. I think that is how the picture was in a book about families arriving in the United States.

Well in addition to having a great weekend with my family, this was really a surprise.
