Ellis Mirsky ca. 1950 with what looks like bubbles, sitting on the fender of what could be his father's then relatively new 1950 International pickup truck on the street at what might be Ward Avenue in the Bronx where grandparents Leon and Mary Mirsky lived.

Ellis Mirsky

Ellis Mirsky (age 4 approx.) in front of 2757 Ulric Street, San Diego, CA, dressed in his Purim costume as King Achasvaros, King of the Cowboys. Back Story: I received the cowboy gear and loved it. I would wear it whenever possible. Purim arrived and it was time to don a suitable middle eastern Purim costume. I refused. After all, my sister Phyllis was dressed like a princess - Queen Esther. I insisted on wearing my Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys outfit. It was a tough negotiation, but I prevailed, albeit with a touch of compromise. I convinced my parents to allow me to wear the cowboy outfit as long as I told everyone that I was King Achasvaros, King of the Cowboys.

(In those days, you kept the film in the camera until the roll was full and then you had the roll developed. That would account for the date of processing being January 1961.)

ca. 1951, Grandma Shirley Jacobs (Lucille Albert Mirsky's mother) with Ellis Mirsky and Phyllis Jayne Mirsky. Note the ever-present holster and six-shooter. And note the cludgy high top leather shoes to guard against ankle twists. And, of course, helmets for bouncy ride on toys like the one shown were not even given a second thought. Better hold on tight.
