Andre was born in 1928. He always used his middle name.
Aunt Lena was the sister of Andre's father, Arthur Alphonse Plante, the founder of Plante Jewelers.
Arthur was a jeweler and a beautiful hand engraver. We have some letters he wrote that show his flowing handwriting and love of flourishes. This baby cup is an example of Arthur's hand engraving.
Lena was a much-beloved sister. She and Arthur and his wife Yvonne were very close. Lena worked at Arthur A. Plante, Manufacturing Jeweler, in the early years after 1905.
