What was the impact of this:
Goodman now became head of the family as his father and older brother were dead. We have a letter from one of the Boys' Club supervisors who said that David had been an outstanding sportsman.
Goodman (Gerry/Goody) married and had a family, but continued to have the responsibility for his mother until her death in 1959. He also had another brother who was mentally ill, who he tried to care for.
