The article listing Kitty Kallen's birth name of Genevieve Agostinello is not correct. Her father's name was Sam Kallen and her mother's name was Rose. We were close friends of the Kallen family when they lived near my family in the Logan section of Philadelphia. My sister and Kitty were best friends and attended Olney High School together in their teen years. We were also close friends of the other children and all were of the Jewish faith. My sister told me today that when Kitty was about to start high school they wanted her to be known as Katherine Kallen, not Kitty, however after presenting them with her birth certificate which indicated her first name as Kitty, they accepted it. All the other information according to my sister is correct. Thank you, David Deringer
