Carol, Just came across your message board from 2004. Probably best if you reply directly to my e-mail address. Sol Ripinsky and family always used the "y". Not a single first name sounds familiar so I doubt any connection with Solomon. Have traced Sol and his brothers throughout the U.S. and would be happy to share the info. Also have a homemade CD on Sol and his siblings which I presented in Haines almost 2 years ago. Would be happy to send you a copy. Regards, Eric
