My Mother and father met at the plumbing company, Keating, which is featured in the background in about 1926. She was a secretary and he was a bookkeeper. I ran across this photo in a children’s book of New York City photos published about 2 years ago. Wish I could remember the book. Will have to do some research. Andree McGrory
