Blanche Lemanski Garofano


Alexandra Lemanski was pregnant with her first child, Blanche, on her voyage from Gdansk Poland  to the USA.  The year was 1910.



At one time the Berkshire Woolen Mills employed 11,000 people. In the Weavers photo of the Berkshire Mills #2  in 1925 she was only 15. She looks exactly like my mother Nora Lemanski.




She died in 2003 at age 93. She loved raspberries.

It is hard to believe that she has been gone for 12 years already.
