Adler update ...

Funded by Max Adler 1928 then various family members including son
Robert Adler from 1952 to 68 ... no mention of our Mortimer J Adler.

(Several Adler's (Ignatz, Cyrus and Levi) mid 19thC immigrants via NY
moving to Chicago, in Law etc, several with Mortimer and Jerome as
sons names, but no direct family ties found.)
