Olexa and Sophia's children

 The Harbuziuk family poses in 1957, when there were only five children -- (from left) Irene, Helen, Leela, Vera and Alex. This photo probably was taken in the home of Olexa's brother John, because Olexa and Sophia didn't own a television set until Alex was in the sixth grade.

FIVE SISTERS: (from left) Helen, Irene, Lee, Vera, Elizabeth. After Vera was born, the Harbuziuks had four daughters and one son. With four sisters, Alex begged his parents for a brother, and soon Wayne appeared on the scene! Alex was allowed to name his baby brother after his neighbor friend's younger brother. Later, Elizabeth was born to reach the lucky number seven.
