An incredible photograph taken at my cousin Edith Louise (Rippe) Weber's wedding in Brooklyn, New York at the Granada Hotel. Edith married Henry William Weber, an obstetrician in 1935, and is the daughter of Winifred 'Winnie' (Nathan) and Maurice Rippe. Her brother Benjamin 'Ben' Rippe was present at the nuptials.

Edith Louise is the mother of Ann (Weber) Benson and Andy and Stephen William Weber. Ann wrote about her mother recently:

My mom went to Sargent College which is now part of Boston University. She later taught ballroom dancing at the Arthur Murray studio and danced with Arthur Murray. She had her own dance studio in the 1950s and could teach anyone to dance! My mom was very graceful.

Edith did considerable Christian Science church work in Brooklyn and was instrumental in getting the reading room situated outside of the church building. Having it on a busy public street was ideal and the better location.

She and her brother Ben loved our house in Vermont, where my brother Andy and I spent our summers for many years. Andy adored Peacham, Vermont.

My grandmother Blanche Rose (Nathan) Hesslein is the sister of Winnie and the aunt to Edith Louise.
