Judy was a keynote speaker for the graduation of the class of 2000 from the Pacific College of Oriental
Medicine.  She built her speech around some Miller family heirlooms--silver serving pieces that she inherited--and therefore thought this speech might be of particular interest on the family website.

Who are these people????

Elinor Schloss was the daughter of Jean Miller Schloss and Ed Schloss.
Jean Miller was the daughter of Hettie ("Bockie") Herzberg Miller and Simon ("Daddy Fahler") Miller.
So there you have it.  Now if you trace yourself all the way back up to Bockie and Daddy Fahler, you will know how you are related to Judy.
Judy and Victor have three "kids" (well, I guess they're not kids any more!) between them: Kt Goldstein Paxton, Jake Goldstein, and Vic Botello.
Kt and Jake are Judy's bioliological daughter and son, and Vic is Victor's biological son
Kt is married to Scott Paxton, and their kids are Sabrina and Casey Paxton.  They really are kids, for the moment at least.
Vic just got married to Catherine Harryman
