In The Left Side Photograph, Top Row, 6th From The Left
When I went to PS 197, I lived directly across East 23rd Street. The address was 2301 Kings Highway.
Upon graduation, I went to James Madison High School, just a few blocks away. I graduated from JMHS in June of 1950.
I then went to Brooklyn College, from where I graduated in June 1954.
I got married in April of 1954, to Sheila Berliner. My former wife graduated from JMHS in June of 1952 and went on to the Fashion Institute of Techology.
I have three (3) cousins who attended James Madison:
Paul Schenker, graduated in 1949
Joan Schenker, graduated in 1953
Mark Levine, graduated in 1955
I had two daughters with Sheila:
Lynn
Cindy
I have three grandsons:
Jason
Eric
Brandon
Sheila and I were divorced in 1974 and in 1981 Roberta Brodsky and I were married. She is also a Brooklynite, but not from our neighborhood.
