"My Grandmother was Dorothy Stumpf. Her parents were Gustav Stumpf and Emma Hoops. At some point they lived in Jersey City, New Jersey. My Grandmother married Frederick M.

 "Incidentally, Roy, Dorothy Palmer's school was on Broadway in North Newark.  I drove past there when I was in Nutley back in September, and the whole neighborhood was all rundown. It was hard to imagine the sign that used to be on the side of the door: "Dorothy Palmer -- School of the Dance."  And no, I never took ballroom from Fred Frobose. I remember his son Michael, though -- he had bright red hair!" {'Miss Palmer's Dancing Class', 7 May 1999, New Jersey Memories Mailing list, <www.rootsweb.com>}
