  Biography	He was drafted into the US Army, received a medical discharge. He worked for Celanese Corp for 5 years in Morelia, Mexico and then returned to New York. In 1951, he settled permanently in Mexico where he worked as a technical expert and junior partner in Mexico's largest button manufacturer. Ernest's 2nd wife, Lupita, whom I communicated with many times following his death - has disappeared.  I have tried to contact her - she may have died.  His first wife, Sarah, left Mexico for NY many years ago with their younger daughter, Sandy. Lucy the older daughter was married to a Mexican man - can't recall the name - she wrote to me about 25 years ago but the contact was brief.  Ernest was not happy with what she had done. {You know my mother was not raised as a Jew because her mother was Lutheran and both my mother and uncle were baptised)   [1]
