Subject: RE: Info Request - background of 'Dona Dona'
Hi, Mark - With a father named Offer and a mother named Coon (Cohn?) I figure both my parents have fathers with Jewish ancestry - but it's the mother that carries on the Jewish ancestry, and one grandmother was French Catholic and the other Irish Catholic, for generation upon generation. But I spent my early years in a Jewish neighborhood in Detroit, and Judaism has always fascinated me. L'Chaim, Mark! -Joe Offer-
