This month, we remember Carolyn Gurman, Rona Schultz and Pearl Stern.
Rona was born in Chicago, met Robert on a blind date and moved to Terre Haute in 1942. She loved golf, a passion she shared with Robert. She also enjoyed playing bridge and solitaire and was interested in the arts and antiques.
I don’t care where the beef is, but where are the cups? I went to get four cups from our beautiful set of antique dishes and out of a set of around 200, there is only one cup. In “Beauty and the Beast”, I know cups can walk and talk, but I’m sure our cups did not walk away alone. If anyone knows where the cups are, please share it with me!
Justifiably, the High Holidays are considered a period of judgment and dread. This is reflected in our liturgy where we read: “This is the day of judgment! For even the hosts of heavens are judgment, and all who dwell on earth stand arrayed before you.”
My dad, Alvin H. Farber, passed away early on a Monday morning, June 10, 2013. He was 91. My son Adam and I flew out to be with him during his last few days. My son Dan, who lives less than two hours away, also was with us, as were my brothers, Matthew and Bill.
