This website is dedicated to the memory of Stan’s parents: Lillian Kirsch and Paul Rothman. Stan never got to know his father as Paul died at age 49 when Stan was only 12 years old. Prior to that, Paul was sick in bed for a few years. Sadly, that is the memory that Stan has of his father. Lillian, Stan’s mother, devoted her life to her only son.
I, Stan’s wife, hope to update these pages as I learn new information, so come back often and reread the pages to learn new facts. The blog will contain some of the back-stories of how we met some of the people who helped me in my research in addition to other stories, insights, and anecdotes. I hope you enjoy learning about Stan’s family.
