OT Fathers,

My father attended CCNY and Brooklyn Law School at night during the thirties while working as a law clerk at Con Ed. His father emigrated from Russia, sold second-hand clothes from a pushcart, and barely spoke English. As a ten year old boy, my father sold newspapers in front of the Capitol building in Atlanta. His customers were prosperous looking attorneys in business suits. He determined then and there that he wanted to become a lawyer and moved to NY for what I am told was the only free education available at that time. He graduated from CCNY with a shiny phi beta kappa key and a devotion to become a middle class American. Although he did not succeed in climbing the corporate ladder at Con Ed, he established a successful solo practice in Jackson Heights, NY, where he primarily served a clientele of immigrants and first generation Americans like himself.

As a child growing up in a Levitt house in Hicksville, I did not see my father very much. Most of the time he did not get back home until I was already asleep. I think night school played a role in making him a workaholic. He sent his three children to Cornell, the University of Chicago and Harvard. Not wanting to follow too closely in his footsteps, I stopped practicing law at the age of 48 when my first child was born. I am a "recovering attorney".

Fred - What was the subject of your graduate work at Northwestern and what is your current occupation?
