Thelma Bogante tells about the family (July 2008)

"I read with interest your article in the Canadian Jewish News on the Jews on Papineau St.
I went on the website and there was my father's family name Boganitsky. My grandfather was Moses.
There is a correction needed here. The name was changed to Bogante, and indeed my Dad, Jack R. Bogante
was a Lawyer and Founder President of the Jewish Hospital of Hope here in Montreal.
His family owned a grocery store on Papineau and I know it was near St. Zotique.
The Boganitsky [Bogante] family emigrated from Odessa Russia, and I still have the medical entry cards needed
as they sailed from Antwerp. I found a letter dated 1927, which gave the address on Papineau as 3150 Papineau
Wonderful to have these memories."
