Thank you, Edgar!
WOW, thank you so much for your comment! Do you have more details on the biography of Julian/Julien/Julius?
I am curious as to how you found this photo.Thanks for that.
Indeed, amazing where you will find Czernowitzers, in all corners of the world.

This is fascinating after so many, many years.
Julien Foorman was my uncle. As a beginner musician I worked with him in Singapore during the late 1940′s. in his orchestra I played the organ, and drums.
I was born in Czernowitz but never actually lived there.
