Taken on Lehigh University campus perhaps in mid-1920s
In 2001, several cousins (grandchildren of Hannah and Harris Coleman of Bethlehem, PA) decided to plan a family reunion. It was held May 25-28, 2001, in Bethlehem. During the planning process, we got in touch with most members of our family, mainly through the wonders of e-mail. Even before this, Richard Tunick started a family tree, and his sister, Judy Greenspan, is now updating it using Family Tree software.
See the Harris Coleman Family genealogy updated July 12, 2007. Please read your part of the tree carefully and send additions and corrections to Judy.
Judy also did some research on the Internet through the Bethlehem Library and found newspaper articles about the family. She has visited the graves of Harris and Hannah (see them on the History page).
Sallie Cherr and Hannah Kaufman visited Bethlehem in September to start planning the reunion. They had a nostalgic drive down East Third St. where the Coleman Furniture Store used to be (now it's a parking lot) and also drove down West Market St. where several of the families lived.
We had a great turnout for the reunion - over 60 people - cousins from 4 generations had a chance to meet each other! Check the Photo Album frequently as new reunion photographs are posted. And read Trudy Glassman's Welcome speech at our banquet.
