I only discovered this site today thanks to Linda Scarlota(Brownlee). It's very difficult to write about the passing of my twin brother, Norman. He's been gone eight years, but it feels like yesterday. During his last months, he was still so caring and kind to everyone he came into contact with. Norman will always be in my thoughts.
Chulchatschinow's father was born in the Soviet Union and fled to Germany, where Walerija was born. The family came to the United States in 1951 and, as Buddhists, lived in the Kalmuck colony in Philadelphia. Chulchatschinow was descended from Genghis Khan and was described by his parents as a very proud soldier who hoped to attend technical school when he returned home. He enlisted in the Army in December 1965 and served as an assistant gunner, ammunition bearer, indirect fire crewman and assistant squad leader in Vietnam with Company A of the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry, 101st Airborne Division. The sergeant was killed the day before Christmas Day 1967 when he stepped on a land mine. He would have been 20 years old in six days. Chulchatschinow was survived by his parents.

Rise' was an only child her parents adored. She was meticulously dressed in H.S. wearing "Ladybug" , "Etienne" and Villager outfits. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding and married Barry Bressler, Esq. Later in life she was very involved in the "Wedgewood Society." I was shocked to hear of her passing and hope she is resting in peace in a beautiful place.

Sharon and I met at Birney Elementary School when we both lived on 9th St. in Logan. She was sweet girl and we were good friends....I was so sorry to hear she passed away.
My friend Jerry "Der" Kaplan passed away in his sleep of a dissected aorta. He always had a smile and a wisecrack and was much beloved by his friends. 30 years later, we still tell stories that bring a smile to everyone's face.
Sheldon was one of my best friends. We were on the fencing team together and played together on the 49 hundred block of Pennway street. He moved to Florida after graduation and we lost contact. I became aware of his death as a result of a neighberhood reunion. From what I understand he became a teacher and therefore contribtuted to society in a noble way during his life. He will be missed.
Sheldon Perloff passed away in September 2007 at 60 years of age. He lived in the Florida Keys and was a counselor for the Florida Keys Community College. The college named a classroom for him after his death. - Jeff Strongin
Sheldon Perloff and I had many good tomes together. I remember him on the Fencing Team with me, playing on the train tracks near his house, putting pennies on the tracks and I remember him at my Bar Mitvah. I was sad to see that he died in 2007. He would have been one of the neighborhood memories I would have wanted to recapture. - Lewis Rothstein

Judi....Many years have passed since your untimely, tragic death. I hope you found peace and love....I will always remember the happy days we shared in Cooke Jr. High.
I first met Neil in kindergarten. He was gentle and smart. I read in the papers in the early 70's that he was at a workplace cafeteria when a fired employee went berserk and randomly shot people, killing Neil.
