 Grandma Tillie's Laugh

This would be taken in the 1950's, probably at her apartment in Far Rockaway.  She always had a glass of "grapefruit water", as I called it:  she peeled grapefruit and put in a glass of water and sipped on it.  Never learned English, she spoke Yiddish and read the 'Forward' Jewish newspaper daily, but was not a big talker.  She was always a bit quiet and demure, and easily made to laugh.  She had the funniest high-pitched 'squeak' of a laugh...
