Daniel Keyes «Algernon, Charlie, and I: A Writer’s Journey»: I mused over the coincidence that both their parents — unknown to each other — had made their way across Europe to Canada to New York City. There, Betty and Willie met for the first time (p. 6).
Gloria Yousha «Scene Around: Aurea and Dan Keyes»: I first met her I was still a child and visiting at my aunt Betty’s house in Brooklyn, N.Y. Aurea was dating my cousin, Dan, whose mom, Betty and my mom, Sally, were sisters.
Gloria Yousha «Heritage: Florida Jewish News»: Thanks to that voyage, my grandparents, Jerome and Dora Elick (changed to Alicke, probably by Canadian immigration authorities) and their young son, Jack and young daughter, Betty, made their home in Montreal, where, in 1908, my mom, Sally, was born.
