Well the mothers last name was probably the name of her husband, unless she decided to keep her maiden name.

Two days ago, in the park:
Group of tired women joggers, now strolling; one is speaking:
"He used to be quite normal, but now his jaws are like this" - she indicates with her cheeks and hands the abnormal size of his face. "They're farmers now, that's probably it. Everything they eat is like mashed potatoes."

So that was you who was eavesdropping upon our conversation in the back room booths of the Mill Basin Kosher Deli in Brooklyn!
We knew the guy behind us was listening, for the head was turned sideways the whole time next to the wooden backrest, but never in my dreams back then, would I have expected you to wear a military Prussian Junker helmet with a flower glued to the spike in public like that, but knowing you know, it all is coming together rather nicley and is making total sense.
