Today I got this comment on my “Born in Kansas City” post from Stuart

The writer Calvin Trillin had a similar family history, with
grandparents and other relatives who were diverted to Kansas City via
Galveston. In one of his essays he asks “And who is Jacob Schiff to be
embarrassed by my uncle Benny Daynovsky?”

I tracked down the book (“Messages from My Father”) at lunch today and
scanned in the passage. It is, as you would expect, vintage Trillin:
