Nisson Finkelstein: Apollo Space Suit Designer Oral History Interview

http://jhsdelaware.org/collections/digital/items/show/182

Nisson Finkelstein (1925-1989) was a physicist, businessman, and activist. He was the founder and former president of ILC Industries Inc., the company that designed and produced the spacesuits used in NASA’s Apollo program. He was heavily involved in the Delaware community and served as president of the Jewish Federation of Delaware.

"We made tracking systems for them with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, but I still had an idea it would be great to get involved with the very guts of this idea of walking on the moon. Which seemed to me to be a fantastic concept."

In the second tape, he discusses making all the Apollo Space suits and attending every launch. He discusses the excitement and nervousness of each launch.

Here is a link to the transcript of the first tape of the interview. The second tape is not transcribed.

Jacob Kadetsky and Pauline Baruth 1876 marriage record reveals new information!

HI Everyone, Happy Snowday for Northeastoners!
I found this interesting marriage record for Pauline Baruth and Jacob Kadetsky. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F6QG-TYK
Although they don't have the original scan there are several interesting facts that we can learn from the record. First, this is their September 3, 1876 marriage record. From Jacob's 1906 death record we know that his parents were Gerturde Lazinsky and Elias Kadetsky (my gggggf through Jacob's brother Shaya Aziel!). This is the earliest American record I have confirmed for my Kadetsky family. Second we see that Jacob's father's name in americanized to Ignatz from Elias and his mother to Lina (her hebrew name was Gitel Leah). In the record Lina has the surname of Jackson. We already know that her surname is Lazinsky from the original polish records. This is an example of a patronymic naming as her father's first name was Jacob, hence Jacobson. For those who are descended from Jacob and Pauline Kadetsky, we learn Pauline's parents names of Meyer and Sarah Baruth. Finally we see early spellings of Kadetsky as Kadetzky and Kardetzky, as well as early spelling of Baruth as Bakuth (or poor transcriptions...)

She seems like she was a really sweet lady. We see from the article that all her daughters had married by this time. I knew about the marriages of everyone except Martha Kadetsky marriage to Harry Cooper. Jacob and Pauline had 7 daughter and one son. The son Abraham died when he was 1 year old. There 7 daughter were Augusta married Samuel DeHaan, Fannie married Harry Porcelain, Rosa married Abraham Kalish, Annette married Henry Bowman, Tena married Benjamin Finkelstein, Martha married Harry Cooper, and Edna died on April 3, 1919 at 20 years old.
