  Notes	Email from Skip (Seymour) Kriegel, April 12, 2004: ”My Mom was famous for telling wildly exaggerated stories.  When I was a kid, Mom told me that her name was actually Gertrude, but she didn’t like the name and changed it to Grace when she changed schools.  This was never verified and assumed to be untrue.  I recently got her birth certificate and her given name was indeed Gertrude (no middle name).  My Mom also told me that when her parents separated – which was evidentially a regular event, she and her Mom would adopt other last names.  I have a Social Security card in the name of “Grace M. Barrie” which is fasinating because it is totally fictitious!  It’s also the name she used when she worked for the Department of Defence during WW II.” Reidence at date of death: 61 Oakdene Avenue, Teaneck, Bergen, New Jersey 07666 SSN: Issued June 4, 1937: 116-07-3119 as “Grace M.
