Memories about Ralph Schoenwald
Richard Arthur Norton (born 1958) said: "I called Harvey R. Kagel in New Rochelle on July 8, 2011 at 11:08 am and left a message. Anne Schoenwald Kagel called me back that afternoon." Anne Schoenwald Kagel (born 1939) said on July 8, 2011: Ralph went into the Navy and I have a photo of him in Cardiff, Wales in 1918. Shirley Schwartz was his wife and my grandmother. Shirley's father had come from Austria. My grandmother said that she fell in love with my grandfather when she saw him on a horse. My grandmother was pregnant with her third child when they came over. They had two boys already. Shirley met Ralph when she was his secretary. He finally married her and they said they were going to move to Brooklyn."
