The
AJZENBERGS
Of
TELECHAN

A WORK IN PROGRESS

By
Arthur Eisenberg

 

Our stories began long before we were born

 

June 10, 2000

Dear Family The price of this book is your CRITICAL response to it.

I've been at this project so long that things that make sense to me may not be clear to you. Therefore your feedback regarding clarity and facts, as well as your perceptions, will only enhance our family history. I encourage you to add to the content of this book, as I plan to continue researching and re-writing.

Your contributions will help to provide a richer legacy for all our children

Thanks

Arthur Eisenberg
