Photos courtesy of Michael Perl As a 13-year-old middle school student from Sydney, Australi a, Michael Perl visited Hungary for the first time in 1984 with his Hungarian-born, Holocaust survivor father.

It was his brother Dave who was on South Warren. Right, Mike Kuzma? Jill Rosmarin Babcock RN I’ve been trying to find pictures of my father’s business, Ross Electric Supply Corporation, 312 South Broad Street. It was across the street from Ben Getten’s paint supply store, Stovers Pharmacy on Broad and Market and Judith Lights parents furniture store going further south on Broad. Some of my most wonderful memories are of having a corned beef sandwich and real dill pickle at the deli on Market Street.......help, what was the name.
