Kathryn is leaving for Cuba on November 30 with a group that will be looking at this country’s Jewish history.

 

Just having returned home from a trip through northern Europe, Marilyn and Obie spent the weekend camping at Ramblin’ Pines near Woodbine, Maryland, with their great nieces, great nephew and with Tom and Sonja and their two grandchildren. The kids enjoyed all the Halloween events at the campground, including pumpkin carving, trick or treating, a hayride and the Haunted Trail. The adults came home exhausted.

Claude Martin, the 29-year old fiddle player in the Martin Family Band, died recently. He performed at the Blackthorn Ceilis at McCathran Hall in the past. The RKIDs send out their deepest sympathy to the family. View a clip of the band with him performing a lively tune at the Glen Echo folk festival in June.
