Dear Arthur:
Having lived in Trenton from 1950-75, and being involved in the city up to my ears, I really enjoy what you are doing and appreciate the effort it takes. Herbie S and The Hon Mark Litzowitz (Markie to me, as we were all friends a long time ago). look great in the picture of the Historical Society meeting! You can tell them I said so.
Did you know there was a very big pageant in Cadwalader Park to celebrate Trenton's 200th birthday? I'm sure all the pictures are somewhere in the archives. There were almost 100 people participating. If I remember correctly Rose Movich was the chairman. It's a lovely memory.
I've been in Jerusalem for 40 years but my memories of Trenton, at the peak of its Jewish Community, are vivid and happy. You are invited to dinner if you find yourself in Israel.
Cordially

I have a great story about the meeting held to
decide how Trenton's community would respond to Israel's need at the time of
the 6 Day War. If you are interested, let me know.

Glad you can use it. Cindy has a lot pictures
of men's club dances and other Jewish groups. Her father was involved for years
with the men's club. We should get together and review them. We know who some
of the people are you may know more.
We also have workmen's circle pictures in
which Cindy's grandparents were members. We also have a picture of her
grandfather's grocery store on Larlor Street.
Cindy's mother wrote a complete history of the
Jews of Trenton as a founding member of the Jewish History Historical Society.
That was the group Ozzy Zuckerman was President. I think the Trenton library
has a copy of it.
I also have my father's man of the year award
from the Jewish community center.

Your email is timely. As you know, I have been
working on an oral history of the Lamberton-Market-Union Street neighborhoods
with my Aunt Edith Goldberg, and I have quite a bit of material. I still have
two more tapes to transcribe, and I am trying to collect photos to go into the
book (I say "book" because it will probably be about 100 pages or
so).
Sadly, my aunt passed away a couple of weeks
ago. But I plan to resume work on the book as soon as I finish my obligations
to my publisher for my third book (on math) and the second edition of my first
book. My guess is that I will be able to start turning the transcriptions into
a book, which I will of course share with you and the Society, in
February and March of this coming year. The challenge is getting the whole thing
in chronological order, since she talked about everything under the sun.
If it's okay with you, I will be sending you
questions I might have as I work it. What photos of the area are available for
publication without infringing on copyrights? Sandy
