When I was a kid in the mid-1930s, my mother who lived in Orange County at the time, left me with a family in Jamaica on Long Island. The name as I recall was WALLENSTINE, WOLLENSTINE, (Sp). Don't know the address. Don't know the reason why I was left there. I think they were associated with a MIKE DOMBECK (Sp), who had a farm and boarding house in Sullivan County. People would come up from the City during the summer months. Does anyone have any information or comments. Please send to my E-mail address. Thankyou.....;~)}
