   Absolutely!  I don't know the Michigan part of the family 
very well because we moved long ago but the walpaper 
business is, I think, the continuation of my grandfather's 
store Knoppow Paint and Glass. There were also in the 
wallpaper business when I was a kid, on Winder Street. My 
father was Benjamin Knoppow, a lawyer in Detroit. He retired 
when we moved out here. A relative has been keeping a 
Knoppow family journal for many years. I will have to look 
Jerry up to see exactly how he is related to me but I think 
he must be the son of one of my father's brothers.
   Thank you so much for writing to me. I sometimes feel as 
though I were an orphan although there is quite a bit of 
family out here.
   Where in W8 land are you located?
