The family gathers in the living room of 2545 Seneca Drive, as a staff photographer from the hometown paper takes a picture. This was Stan's bar mitzvah year; Rosanne was 12; David 9; Bobby 6. Jeanne was 34, and Irvin, with his wonderful V-neck sweater and Goya classical guitar, was almost 46.
Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the days,
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as they gaze...
Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset!
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.
Stan's Bar Mitzvah year was 1964 not 1965.
