Newspaper Article
A Heaping Helping of Nostalgia
2001
Overview
\"In 1888 a paternal great-grandfather brought pastrami to the New World. In 1916 a grandmother took home the trophy for 'Best Legs in Atlantic City.' My grandfather won the land for his house in a card game with Jimmy Walker and was eulogized in the New Yorker by E.B. White. My father invented the first Hydraulic-powered Double-sided Garbage Can Brush, the Two-sided Cigarette Lighter so you never have to worry about which side is up when you go to light, the first Illuminated Lucite Single-shaft Fender Guide, which clamped to your fender and facilitated nighttime parking by showing you where your fender ended, the first See-thru Wristwatch, and the Six-color Retractable Pen and Pencil Set. . . . My mother was president of the Junior League for Child Care. Everyone was a star in the family galaxy, even Aunt Gertie, whose husband gambled away her money, then died, leaving her to sell dresses at Sachs, not Saks. Aunt Gertie had perfect posture.\"
