Limitations on size of any single page forced me to split off the

- The vast bulk of my massive Web presence (over 485 pages) had been hosted by AT&T's WorldNet service since 30 May 1996;
they dropped WorldNet effective 31 Mar 2010 and I have been scrambling to transfer everything. Everything's saved but all the links have to be changed,
mostly by hand. See my sbiii.com Transfer Page for any updates on this tedious process.

My great-uncle, George Berliner, brother of my grandfather, was Fiscal Agent for the Cape of Good Hope, in Capetown, South Africa, died in Newlands, SA, ca. 1921, and was shipped back here to NY (for burial, in brutally hot weather) curled up fetal fashion in a tin garbage can filled with alcohol and with the lid securely soldered on; upon his arrival, no one would risk opening the can, so Uncle George reposes upright in the family plot! So, the poor guy went to his grave pickled! See also his brother, my Great-Uncle Rudolph Berliner.

(04 Nov 2017)
One very interesting lead is another Mike Berliner, of New Jersey, who was a big motorcycle distributor; I wanted to contact him further to see if he was one of the "Berliner brothers"
who bought into Ducati in the '50s and gave it up ca. January 1968.
(28 Feb 08)
(13 Dec 00 - Bob B., a biker, chimed in that Berliner Motor Imports in NJ was for
many years the US distributor for Ducati and Moto Guzzi and that Sal DeFeo
of Ghost Motorcycle (which gave up the Ghost a few years back) in Port
Washington was one of their biggest customers and knew the family well.)
AHA! It would appear (2008) that the Berliner brothers are now gone (there was a sister, Rose), and that they, Joe and Mike, operated as Berliner Motor Corp.. The firm, at least at one time, was located at Railroad Street and Plant Road in Hasbrouk Heights, New Jersey, and was also a dealer for AMC (Associated Motorcycles - AJS, Matchlesss, and Norton) and Zundapp bikes. They seem to have dictated to Ducati what they wanted to have and they re-badged some others. Here's a Berliner/Norton shipped by the Matchless Motorcycle factory in England in October 1966 to "Joe Berliner Motorcycles of New York", which somehow ended up in New Zealand (28 Feb 2008):
2. Different Jeffs.
3. Great Neck, Long Island Berliner (see top of Berliner page, about Long Island Berliners).
APOLOGY - I added a number of other Berliners 17 Jan 1998 and e-mailed some of them about links and then lost the listings; I will be happy to restore links to anyone who e-mails me back; otherwise, I'll recreate them as I have time.
There was a Berliner who was a mathematician in Development and Proof Services back in the early '50s at Aberdeen Proving Ground when I worked there; wonder what happened to him?
