Hey, Rich -
I had forgotten what close buddies you and Ira were! Well, it just so happens I can help you out here. When I was planning the evening reunion, I kept asking people if they knew of Ira's whereabouts, but people told me they didn't know, or had heard he wouldn't attend even if we could locate him, etc. Then I got a letter from Arthur Politan who said he'd like to come to the evening reunion and would bring his wife Jodi -- that's right, Ira's sister Jodi married Arthur! And so they both persuaded Ira to attend and he was at the evening reunion last March, too. Looked very much the same-- instantly recognizable. Another one who somehow didn't make it into the reunion photo I had taken of former tenants of 245 Wortman Avenue (Barry Fried, where were you??) Next reunion I refuse to take "no" as an answer from anyone!
Anyhow, to respect Ira's privacy (he doesn't have email), I will email you privately, Rich, with Ira's address and phone number.
