I found him living with his family across the street from my own family in 1905! I first came upon this coincidence when I read an article about his brownstone -- still standing, with a commemorative plaque -- and recognized the address from my family research.
Page from 1905 NYS census listing Weiss family. Ehrich Weiss, "Actor," is listed as brother to head of household Leopold Weiss.

In the town where Europeans first landed on these shores, where the Mayflower Compact was signed, where the very idea of the US was conceived, they know it’s patriotic to support trans rights.

Just a reminder that in the other timeline, these people are running the country with joy and compassion and intelligence instead of the fear and cruelty and stupidity we are currently subjected to.

that's funny, cuz in 2013 he referenced his allowance. www.vanityfair.com/news/2013/04...
In 1984, when he was a junior at Horace Greeley High School, in affluent Chappaqua, New York, he wagered his father $2,000 that he would score a perfect 800 on the verbal section of the SAT. The gamble was everything Ackman had saved up from his Bar Mitzvah gift money and *his allowance for doing household chores.*

Yes -- there's something particularly evocative about seeing my grandfather's name change in red.
