| Note* | Kristin was surrounded with music from her earliest days. When she was just a bit past two, Sue was driving with Kris to get to the Day Care she had started attending since she was two months old. The radio was on and Sue was enjoying a program of baroque music. Kris said “Music not pretty” and Sue tried to tell her how lovely it was. After the toddler said “music not pretty” twice more and her mommy extolled it, Kristin said “Come on, Sue!” A few days after that incident, Sue was, once again, driving with Kris and the radio was playing. When the radio began playing some Pachelbel, Kristin smiled and said “Oboe music.” That was music she had heard her mommy play, and that she recognized and liked. - Alice Brooks Gross. |

| Note* | By the time Lauren was three and a half, she was accustomed to speaking to me and her Grandfather on the telephone. We were in Florida for the winter and called Connecticut to touch base every Saturday or Sunday. Lauren began to tell me a story and then said, “I want you to come to see me so I can show you something very special.” I told her we couldn’t come because we were very far away. “Then come tomorrow, Grandma,” she said. I tried to explain that it wasn’t possible. She repeated, “I want you to come.” I tried, very patiently, to explain why I had to say I couldn’t visit. In a very annoyed tone of voice she said, “Then Good-Bye!” and hung the phone up with quite a bang. The same problem arose two weeks later and when I again said we weren’t able to come, she became very angry and raised her voice, saying, “No, No, No! I don’t want to hear that.” We had to wait two months before we were able to talk to her on the telephone again. - Alice Brooks Gross. |

| Note* | GRANDMA PAULINE’S ICE CREAM SANDWICH Did I ever tell you the story about my mom who, at an age of about nine or ten, met a friend on the street who was very eager to tell her of her latest experience? She said, “Guess what I had today?” and Grandma Paul asked, “What?” “An ice-cream sandwich!” “What?!?” “An ICE-CREAM SANDWICH.” “I don’t believe you.” “I did, and it was wonderful. I wish you were with me to share it, but I didn’t know where you were, so I had it all by myself.” Now, my mother couldn’t imagine what it might be like because she had never heard of such a thing before. She went home to her mother and asked if she could have five cents to buy a roll and some ice cream. Grandma Hannah (MY grandmother) said she couldn’t imagine why she needed to buy a roll because there was plenty of bread in the house. But she gave her daughter the big amount of five cents to buy some ice cream. My Mom went to the bakery and bought one big roll for one penny. Then she went to the store where they had real ice cream, not like the home churned ice cream we read about. Since the family was living in the city they would not have had a butter churn or an ice-cream maker anyway. Grandma Paul brought her treasured purchases home, gave her mother a penny in change from the five cents and proceeded to separate the roll and put the ice-cream into it. She always assured me, whenever she referred to that story, that it was the MOST delicious dessert she had ever eaten -- at least as a child. And she was able to tell her friend that she, too, had been able to experience the sophistication of the latest advance in cuisine. - Alice Brooks Gross. | |
| Note* | FAMILY ABILITY FOR NEEDLEWORK Recently, looking at photos of my mom and her older sister, Rose, I noticed the detailed stitching on dresses they wore in a formal portrait that was taken of them as very young women. It reminded me of the first time I asked about those dresses. Mother told me that before Hannah came to this country, she earned money for her family, both before marriage and after, by doing very elegant dressmaking for several wealthy landowners in the city of Minsk, Russia. In fact, these monied people were referred to as "the aristocracy", but whether they truly belonged to that stratum of society I do not know. When her daughters were grown to their upper teens, Hannah was determined to make clothing for them which would be properly fashionable, and although the family was not at all well-to-do economically, she managed to find fabric to suit her purpose. She taught her eldest daughter, my Aunt Rose, to use the sewing machine and to do hand stitching also. Of course, by this time they were living in the United States. Among my photos on the wall of the bedroom in Connecticut you will see my mother and her older sister in two of those dresses. Pauline, my Mom, was approximately fifteen at the time and Rose was 19. You can see by the expressions on their faces that they were very proud of their clothing, and well they should have been. Not many of their acquaintances wore such gowns. - Alice Brooks Gross. | |

| Note | Pauline MY MOTHER, PAULINE I’ve never really told any of you much about my mother. She was a very special woman in many ways. As a girl, she earned a few dollars a week working as a salesperson in a candy shop and years later, when she realized that she’d have to earn a living to support her little daughter and herself, she went to work in the same field. A candy shop, at that time, was an outstanding type of establishment. This wasn’t what you all probably think of as a “candy store”. It was an elegant little shop, well stocked with special chocolates and sweets which could be bought by the pound, partial pound or ready-packed box. Like Lady Godiva today, in the early 1900's there was a variety of candy specialty shops: Fanny Farmer, Loft, Schraft, Mirror and others. The MIRROR took its name from the fact that all of the stores had walls that were paneled in mirror, not paint. Later in the century, these shops were joined by Barriccini and Barton and some failed during the Great Depression. In most cases, these companies had their own specialists in chocolate-making, most of them newly arrived from Europe, and you could taste the differences in the products they turned out. At least Pauline could. Mom was able to bite into a piece of chocolate and tell you what candy-maker had produced it and what made it more special than others. “Hand-dipped chocolates were the only really good candies to buy”, she’d assure everyone. By the way, she never swallowed those bites just as wine tasters don’t swallow when they taste a variety of vintner’s products. Pauline learned the candy business very thoroughly, starting as a saleswoman in the MIRROR candy shop chain and eventually becoming the manager of their “show store” near Herald Square in Manhattan, New York. She left for a position of supervisor of Candies and Novelties for one of the large Drug chains in the eastern part of the country. Then she rose to Buyer. Here she not only purchased the boxed candies to be sold in the stores, but she chose, bought and often personally decorated the novelties that highlighted the season of the year or the holiday displayed in the windows of the stores she oversaw. I remember her sitting and drawing designs of which boxes and novelties were to be placed in those windows. She designed the color schemes, highlighted the holiday seasons and had the additional burden of traveling out of town so that she could observe whether her orders and suggestions were carried out. Remarkably, she learned all this without any formal training in window design or business management.When Pauline decided to quit the big job she was quite happy being at home and enjoying life as a home-maker. However, circumstances on a few occasions demanded that she help bolster the family income. She went to work for Bariccini and later, Barton. She was content with doing the same thing she had done earlier in her career - managing a shop - and the company was delighted to have her. When you consider it, for a woman who hated to travel alone and who was somewhat timid about supervision in general, she was right out there in the early 1920's when she first managed that one huge store for the MIRROR Candy Company. As I remember it, it was located between Sixth Avenue and Broadway and ran the entire block between 34th and 35th Streets! There was a long soda fountain which served foods like sandwiches, soups, salads, beverages and the traditional ice cream specialties on one side of the store, while the other side had rows of glass showcases filled with chocolates and candies of many varieties. Mom was responsible for everything that went on in that shop and must have done very well because she was there for several years before being offered that position with the Whelan Drug Company and later with Pennsylvania Drugs as Buyer of Candies and Novelties. In those years married women were not encouraged to apply for jobs. Jewish women were not welcome employees either, except perhaps in the needle trades behind sewing machines. Pauline called herself MISS Brooks and never let anyone know her private business. At the age of eleven, when I was introduced to a Vice President of the company she was working for, it was as her niece and that’s the way it remained for all of the years she worked. When I was a junior in college, I took a Christmas fill-in job at Barton’s shop in Rockefeller Center. Mother was manager of the store at that time. I was treated like any other employee and, of course, I addressed her as ‘Miss Brooks’ as did the other three salespeople. The day she received a call from a large corporation in one of the offices upstairs in that building, she decided to send me up to take the order. After making several suggestions to the office supervisor in charge, I came down with a huge order which we filled within the next two days. It was delivered with all of the brilliant ribbons, bows and decorations which Pauline had such a knack at producing. This was 1938 and an order for a few hundred dollars worth of candy for Christmas gifts for a company’s employees was quite a coup. Mom was very proud of me but I was more proud of her for all that she did so efficiently and quietly. I hope I let her know it. She never flaunted her place or position and taught by example. I think she was quite special. - Alice Brooks Gross. |

| Note | GRANDMA HANNAH - FOODS, LAMBS’ TONGUES So, what about my Grandma Hannah's cooking and baking? All grandmothers of Russian origin produced special foods, and had an abundance of standards. Recipes varied according to the area of the country you had lived in. From Hannah, my mother learned the secret of borscht - with meat or without; tsimmes that was never too sweet, never too mushy, and perfectly balanced between carrots, prunes, sweet potatoes, kugel, and sometimes yellow turnips; miraculous custard rice puddings, thick barley and bean soup, thin chicken soup with farina squares, and cholent - a ritual dish of meat, lima beans and potatos which was put into the oven on a very low flame before sundown on Friday and eaten for dinner after sundown on Saturday. This was done in order to observe the tradition of not lighting a fire to cook with once the Sabbath had begun. So the dish cooked for hours and hours in a very tightly covered pot or ceramic piece of cookware. Actually, my mother never made cholent. I had my first delicious experience with that when I spent long week-ends visiting my grandparents. And when Grandpa and I were retired and living in Florida each winter, I decided to try out that long-remembered dish. I found a recipe, did my usual “creative modifications” and cooked it in an electric crock pot. It was fabulous. My Grandma also made braided challahs that were yellow inside, not pale and dry, and the traditional round holiday challah was a shining, glossy harbinger of the Rosh Hashonah dinner. Grandma's gefulte fish was different from the elegant fillet of fish ball that we're accustomed to now. She used a slice of fish, bone in and skin on, and stuffed the open area with chopped fish. The natural gelatinous gravy was dark and strongly flavored, and it wasn't one of my favorite foods. But nobody ever refused to eat at Grandma Hannah's table. She worked too hard for us to spoil her pleasure in feeding her family by refusing food she’d prepared. I do remember enjoying one dish in particular until the day when I was about ten years old and asked Grandma what it was called. She said "tsinglach". I thought for a moment and asked, "Little tongues?" "What else?" she answered. That was the last time I ever ate that delectable dish. All I could picture was little white lambs running around without tongues! -Alice Brooks Grose. | |

| Note* | GRANDMA HANNAH - the FORK I don't remember my maternal grandmother as a middle-aged woman. Her hair, it seems now as I scour my memory, was always white. Not graying, not gray, but a shining, silvery white. My mother told me that my red-streaked brunette color, like hers, was what Grandma's had been. She never braided her silky long hair. It was always worn in soft waves around her face with a large, firm bun just above the nape of her neck. During the last years of her life, when she lived in Brooklyn, NY, one block away from the Boardwalk facing the ocean, we had no difficulty finding her sitting on a bench looking out toward the water or speaking to her friends. Her head was the sunlit, shining beacon we could immediately pick out from the crowd. It was almost as though she was competing with the torch of welcome The Lady held further up New York Harbor. Of course, I also remember visits when I was just a little girl and she lived just off 5th Avenue in Manhattan with her husband, Abraham, but I can't remember dark hair on Hannah even though I can vividly recall spending long week-ends with them when I was as young as five. We children, my cousins Mildred and Lucille and I, used to vie with each other to be first to reach Grandma's kitchen when we'd visit with the rest of the family on Sunday afternoons. There were two special attractions to be found there. One was thick slices of fresh corn bread spread with sweet butter, which we salted liberally and ate with crisp apples. The other reason for striving to be victorious in the race to the kitchen was in a large drawer cluttered with various pieces of flatware. The treasure we were after was a slim, long-handled, small-tined fork. Because my cousins were two and six years older than I, they invariably ran off with the prize, but there were a few times when Grandma would manage to "forget" to put it in its usual place and she'd whisper as she'd hug and kiss me hello; "Look in the other drawer, Ketzeleh (kitten)". Was that favoritism? No - she was just giving the youngest a chance. To this day, I don't know what its' original purpose was, but for we three girls, possession of that fork was a contest we never tired of trying to win. - Alice Brooks Gross. | |
| Note | GROOMING LESSON Hannah was not a vain woman, but she was concerned about propriety and appearance. Once, when I was 15 or 16, my mother’s younger sister, Ethel, (who lived with Hannah in the apartment near the ocean in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn) had to be away for the weekend. I was asked whether I would stay with Grandma so that she would not be alone. Since it was only a few streets away from our home and I could still spend some time with friends, I gladly said yes. It was always pleasant to be with my Grandmother and I didn't feel this was a chore. On Saturday morning, after we’d had breakfast, Grandma asked if I would please go to the store for a "Forvitz". That was the name of the Yiddish newspaper, “The Forward”, which was also printed in English. [note: It is still being published in the 21st century, with editions in Yiddish, English and Russian] "Of course," I answered, and started for the door. As I glanced into the mirror over the tiny table opposite the door in the vestibule of the apartment, I saw Grandma look at me. She didn't say a word. But I said, "I just want to brush my hair before I go out, Grandma." She was a small woman, but she seemed to gain two inches and her smile competed with the light of the sun pouring in from the windows. "I didn't want to say it, darling. But you should never go out without looking at yourself. Be neat, be clean, be pretty." It's difficult to explain to you how wonderful I felt. She had praised me in a subtle way that made me feel as though I had done something special and it was a lesson I never forgot. Hannah was not formally schooled, as held true for many of the great mass of Russian-born women who came to our country in the late years of the nineteenth century, but she had all the intelligence, dignity and common sense that one needed to make a lasting impression on her children and grandchildren. - Alice Brooks Gross. |

| Note* | FAMILY ABILITY FOR NEEDLEWORK Recently, looking at photos of my mom and her older sister, Rose, I noticed the detailed stitching on dresses they wore in a formal portrait that was taken of them as very young women. It reminded me of the first time I asked about those dresses. Mother told me that before Hannah came to this country, she earned money for her family, both before marriage and after, by doing very elegant dressmaking for several wealthy landowners in the city of Minsk, Russia. In fact, these monied people were referred to as "the aristocracy", but whether they truly belonged to that stratum of society I do not know. When her daughters were grown to their upper teens, Hannah was determined to make clothing for them which would be properly fashionable, and although the family was not at all well-to-do economically, she managed to find fabric to suit her purpose. She taught her eldest daughter, my Aunt Rose, to use the sewing machine and to do hand stitching also. Of course, by this time they were living in the United States. Among my photos on the wall of the bedroom in Connecticut you will see my mother and her older sister in two of those dresses. Pauline, my Mom, was approximately fifteen at the time and Rose was 19. You can see by the expressions on their faces that they were very proud of their clothing, and well they should have been. Not many of their acquaintances wore such gowns. - Alice Brooks Gross. | |

| Note* | ANNUAL OUTING Every summer while I was living with my Aunt and Uncle Grosoff and their daughters Lucille and Mildred, we girls looked forward to the annual outing when my Aunt took us to LUNA PARK. What a wonderful place that was with its strange booths of games, plus entertainments and spectacular rides! Our favorite ride was one which took us from a dizzying height in a boat-like conveyance which held several people, down a chute and into a pool of water. It made a tremendous splash but we never really seemed to get more than a light spray on us. We all also loved the ride which is still a popular one today in most amusement parks, ‘The Whip’, and we never had enough of the little cars and train rides. We usually spent several hours of the day in Luna Park and were allowed to have just about anything to eat like hot-dogs, ears of corn, french fries, lemonade, frozen custard, cotton candy and various other goodies. One of my favorites was a “plate” of fried eggs and bacon made out of marzipan candy. Of course, most of it was brought home to be relished and shared during the next few weeks. The only thing that was wrong with that day was that we knew we were all going to have to suffer through a spoonful of castor-oil when we arrived home. It never failed to stop our fun, but before we left the house in the morning, Aunt Rose would always say, “Now remember, you can have whatever you like but you shouldn’t eat so much that you’ll feel sick. And everyone will have a spoonful of castor oil when we come home.” You’d think that we would choose not to go. Maybe we thought she’d change her mind, but it never happened that way. We just went, had a good time all day and “took our medicine” at night. - Alice Brooks Gross. |

| Burial* | He was buried at New Montefiore Cem, Farmingdale, Nassau Co, NY.1 | |
| Note* | Samuel Levine was the son of Jacob Levine and Masha (Mary) Wolff who were both born in Bialystok, Russia. Because Samuel was the youngest of eleven children in the family and his parents were having difficulty providing for them, he was placed in an orphanage at the age of eleven so that he would be housed, schooled and taught a vocation. He became a carpenter and cabinet maker who, as an adult, always cared about children in orphanages and visited with small gifts of candies whenever he could. In the height of Depression years during the 1930's, he worked as a soda-fountain clerk. Later in life Samuel Levine worked as a Building Department Inspector for the City of New York. He was an avid fisherman who excelled in surf-casting and loved sports. Just as an aside, he was the best father anyone could ever have. I was lucky that he met my mother when I needed a caring father-figure. - From notes of Alice Brooks Gross.1 | |
