(3) CORRESPONDENCE: Marc Sverdlove, email to Andrew I. Sverdlove, 27-Mar-2005, Louise has some interesting information about Hy Davis. His original last name is Berkowitz. Davis is his mother’s maiden name. He changed it in order to get into law school, because he belonged to a communist group. The reason she came about this information is very interesting. Hy’s first cousin, Sylvia Berkowitz, worked for Louise’s father as a sale’s woman. Unfortunately one of Louise’s younger brothers was diagnosed with cancer when she was 16. In order to defray the cost of hiring somebody, she worked in her father’s retail store. She continued to do so after her brother died. When my cousin Barbara Davis announced her engagement, Sylvia told Louise the story of her cousin Hy. (4) CORRESPONDENCE: Marc Sverdlove, email to Andrew I.
