You used one interesting word, you said by the time your cousins or uncles 'adapted' to this country, did you mean that they weren't from this country? No, I'm second generation, my whole mother's generation was all immigrant. Where are they from? Someplace in Lithuania, I don't quite know. I know the names k}' ) !.t..; Cuvna and Gredna are fresh in my memory, but I don'tAthe relation-ship one to the other. Cuvna? ·I I think it was Cuvnagibania, or whatever. I know it's supposed to be Lithuania. And that was true of my father as well, he came from Lithuania as well. What did you feel like when you finally got ~ck with your mother in the Bronx? Was that a good or big day? Was that a dramatic thing? No, it wasn't a big dramatic thing because as I got older I used to go to New York weekends and spend them with my mother. When I first went there, she had rented a room with another Jewish family from time to time, of course, it was a sequence of them, it wasn't always the same one, so I used to share that room with her. Then as things got better with her she had a little apartment, so I went to this apartment, and when things got still better with her, then the apartments got better. So, by the time I came west, and I guess I was then about 17, we were living quite well, reasonably well. |
