SANDY HOCHBERG STEIN & JANE LEVINE LEWIT & COMPANY

In early August, 2 carloads of Steins drove up from Buskirk, NY to visit with their Lewit cousins in Brant Lake, NY.  A great time was enjoyed by all - especially 6 month old Chase Berntsson, his older brother Blake and cousin Steven Ford - both 2 1/2 year old artists. The three boys share the same great-great-great grandparents -- Noah and Rachel Levine.
