His parents had emigrated from Poland in the 1920’s and met and married in Montreal. Although the world was at war, he and his parents and one older brother living in the center of the city very near “the Mountain” felt very safe and secure. He walked to his elementary school, a few blocks away, on his own. He played with his friends on the streets of their neighborhood without supervision, coming home only for dinner and at nighttime. His parents spoke Yiddush and English at home. His Father was a tailor and his Mother a homemaker. They had a strong belief in the power of education and community and were very active in many community organizations.
His Brother, five and one half years older than him, graduated from High School and went into the clothing business with their Father and was very successful. The author, motivated daily by his family’s belief in higher education, graduated from medical school at McGill University in 1966. He is a board certified Family Physician and has practiced and taught Family Medicine in both Canada and the United States. He and his wife and their two young sons moved to the Miami-Kendall area in 1976. He has been very involved in many community activities. He was the chair of the Long Term Ombudsmen Council for Dade and Monroe Counties in the 80’s. He and his wife still reside in South Florida and now live in Delray Beach very close to the wetland attractions that he writes about in the book. This is his first book.ver menos
