We have a stunning photograph of Great Grandfather Leopold Ipcar on the stage, in his robes as master of ceremonies, somewhere in Eastern Europe. Working in the theatre is generally not considered a respectable occupation but we have few other details of father's grandfather.

My mother's parents met in Paris in the early 1900's as art students; not only did they become enthralled with one another but became advocates and well known leaders of Modern Art. They were not considered respectable till half a century had passed, and couldn't have cared less!

Cheerily,
