My father, Avram Tinichigiu, was born in Rǎucǎneni in 1897.
He was illiterate; he couldn't read, but he could sign his name
and he knew basic arithmetic. I don't know much about my
father's life before his marriage, nor about what brought him to
Iasi. He married Maria, my real mother here in Iasi. I don't
remember her last name
