5742 1982 Passover The theme For many years, the JEWISH PRESS has utilized a theme for its special Passover and New Years issues. For this Passover, the theme is WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CLASS OF 67? This theme was approved by the JEWISH PRESS Committee at a regular monthly meeting after discussing a tariely of suggestions. The concept involved tlte staff in locating high school graduates to determine what has happened to the individuals since that momentous day in their lives. The particular year — 1967 — was chosen because the committee members concluded that after 15 years tlte expectation would be that class members had reached career goals, started families, and

otherwise matured into productive members of society. To reach the graduates, the staff published a list of Jewish graduates from Central and Westside high schools. Soon, the telephone rang, and the mail rolled in. Parents called to let staff know where their children were located, and former classmates — some.of whom still receive the JEWISH PRESS- responded by mail with letters and photographs. The staff regrets not having been able to reach the entire class, but happily presents the comments of those wlio were available. On behalf of the staff and the JEWISH PRESS Committee, we welcome the Class of I967_to this unusual Passover reunion. Morris hhdine

"My friends really cared about their grades, and their marks reflected their concern," she explained. Sandy was involved in several groups such as French Club, Spanish Club ("I was into foreign languages at the time," she said) and B'nai B'rith Girls. She dreamed of being a French teacher and studying in France or being a United Nations representative or an interpreter. After graduation in 1967, Paul went to the University of Oklahoma in Norman, and Sandy attended the University of Missouri in Columbia. It was important- to them to complete their educations, and they tried "to take one step at a time" in their personal relationship.

he offered Paul a position with the company. Making the decision to return to Omaha was not a simple one. By this time. Paul was a buyer with Foley's. Sandy, now a department manager for Neiman Marcus, had forgotten about looking for a teaching job. "I had my own identity, and I knew I'd suffer an identity crisis if we went back to Omaha." she said. "I looked at my job as a career. It wasn't just a job to me." she added. "I didn't know if I could find a new career in Omaha." But Paul, who had a good relationship with his father, "had an opportunity to own a business someday and be his own boss," he said. Foley's granted him a six-month leave of absence to make his decision. Sandy wasn't accepting the move to Omaha. She didn't want life to be as it had been in high school. She had matured and didn't want to regress. It took Paul four or five months to make up his mind to stay here, but it took about a year for Sandy to realize that she could maintain her independence and continue to grow professionally and to mature personally surrounded by the influences of her childhood. She began working at a newly opened store in Omaha. Hovland-Swanson. Many of Paul's and Sandy's contemporaries were starting families of their own by this time. After six years of marriage, although Paul said he "always wanted to have a family" Sandy hadn't given it much thought. She had also been (old by a physician that she might have problems during a pregancy. About this same lime, she began spending a lot of time getting to know her 2-year-old nephew, Brian Lewis, the son of Marshall and Rocky Lewis, Sandy's older sister. "I fell in love with him," she said. More than any other single factor, her relationship with Brian convinced her that she did want to have a child. After her pregancy was confirmed

in late 1979. Sandy confided that she "really wanted to have a fourtfi"of July baby," In fact, she awoke on the Fourlh of July having contractions. They weren 't strong enough to go to the hospital yet. so Paul went ahead to play in a golf tournament. Sandy's contractions continued sporadically throughout the day and early evening. Then, at 9 p.m. the Epsteins found themselves timing contractions in their basement. A tornado had touched down fme mile west of their home. The sirens were screeching. At. 10 p.m.. when the aireas stopped. Paul and Sandy headed for the hospital. The sky was splashed with fireworks celebrating the nation's birthday. To Paul and Sandy "it seemed like God was celebrating." Karl Allison Epstein was born 57 minutes after midnight. "We were so high." Paul said, "there were no words to describe our joy." These days, Paul and Sandy are involved in Omaha's Jewish community. Paul was recently elected treasurer of the Jewish Federation. He is also a member of the Cultural Arts Committee and the Budget and Planning Committee of the Jewish Federation. "I have the opportunity to pay back the community and to help make it better for my family." Paul explained. Now the vice president of Nebraska Wine and Liquors, Paul also serves as vice chairman of the Council of Young Executives of the Wine and Spirts Wholesalers of America, a national organization. He'll be the chairman of the Council in 1983. Sandy is also a .volunteer in Jewish communal life. She belongs to Temple Israel Sisterhood, to Women's American OUT.

Being involved is Ihc community and enjoying living near their families are two important aspects of Paul's and Sandy's lives in Omaha. Paul's grandfathers, Ben Garelick, 9J, and Abe Epstein, 92, have provided "an incredible experience for us," Paul confided. "Through them we can almost sec the old country," he said. "They're beautiful people," lie added, and people that he and Sandy wouldn't have been able to know as well if they hadn't moved back to Omaha. '.

Ronald Wolf son

By David Bittner

In the days when many members of the class of '67 were students at Omaha Central High, the school newspaper carried a weekly personality profile column. A column featuring the activities of Ronald Wolfson correctly predicted that he was "on the road to success," and it also would not have been very hard to see how heavily Jewishly oriented his life was going to be. Wolfson's high school accomplishments included dramatics, including playing of Tevye in "Fiddler on the Roof," membership and officership in both local and regional United Synagogue Youth, and membership in the Beth El Synagogue choir and the "Bunch," a Jewish choral ensemble that performed in area road shows and on television. According to Wolfson, the Bunch started out as a name for a group of friends from Beth El religious school who started to make music together when a junior high choir director put them together in an octet. Through bis USY activities Wolfson met people from the rabbinical seminaries and started seriously considering the idea of becoming a rabbi. "I knew I wanted some kind of religious occupation," said Wolfson when he was recently interviewed. "Being a revolving-door Hebrew school teacher was out, and so was being educational director of a Hebrew school. I didn't see either of these as an appropriate role model. But there was Rabbi Kripke and I thought to myself that here was a person who was esteemed in the community. Maybe I should become a rabbi." Wolfson said he spoke to people from the seminaries about preparations and requirements .for the rabbinate and was advised to do Jewish studies at a good liberal arts college and work on his Hebrew. That was just what Wolfson decided to do, and began his college career at Washington University in St. Louis, majoring in religious studies. Rabbinical school was a distinct

possibility at this point, and he even spent the summer between high school and college living at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. In 1969 Wolfson applied to rabbinical school in New York and was accepted. Hie school encouraged him to spend the summer at the seminary studying Hebrew, and Wolfson was ready to go, even having figured out that he had enough credits to graduate from Washington a year ahead of schedule. But then came a turn of events that changed Wolfson's whole career focus. Wolfson had made the acquaintance of a St. Louis Conservative congregation and its rabbi by acting as advisor for a junior high school youth group. The cantor of the congregation. quit suddenly, and the Rabbi asked Wolfson to take over conducting the Bar and Bat Mitzvah classes. Wolfson thought he could meet the challenge because he'd taught his own younger brother his Torah portion as a surprise to the boys' parents. "I'd gotten great nachas out of teaching my brother, so I said yes to Rabbi Iipnick," said Wolfson. "It was quite a responsibility teaching 40 boys and girls. I didn't want to just give them tape-recordings they could memorize,'either. I taught them the truth." The job went smoothly, said Wolfson, but it was still not adequate preparation for the additional responsibility that the rabbi wanted to give Wolfson the following year. "The rabbi had given me a class of eighth graders and I didn't know how to handle them," said Wolfson. "They ran all over me. It had been different with the Bar and Bat Mitzvah pupils. They were motivated to learn, and I only taught them 10 at a time. Now the rabbi wanted me to take over a post-bar mitzvah class. I went

said 'Help!'"" Wolfson enrolled in an education course and found that all the things he had done "in? stinctively" with the kids now started to make sense. Not only that, said Wolfson, but these were the days of movements to reform and

humanize education. "If reforms were needed in the public schools," said Wolfson.'i thought to myself, how much more so in Hebrew schools." "Now I knew what was bothering the kids and how to lead a class successfully. I took over the post-bar mitzvah class and took the kids on nine weekend retreats. It was a tremendous success. Rabbi Lipnick sat in on our classes and wrote his Ph.D. thesis on the experience. Not only that, but I could see a sense of camaraderie grow among the members of the class, so much so that I was reminded of my own "Bunch," Wolfson continued. , By this time, said Wolfson, he had definitely abandoned the idea of rabbinical school and wanted to go on at Washington University for a master's and a doctor's degrees in education. A trip to Israel that Wolfson planned for his students became the subject of his Ph.D. dissertation. Accompanying Wolfson to Israel along with his students was his new bride, the former Susie Kukawka, who helped Wolfson manage the group. After Wolfson got his Ph.D., he decided to spend several years studying Judaica. To this end he went to the University of Judaism, where he remained to become the director of the education department and supervise 50 graduate students. He also aids in university administration and speaks for the university. Every summer Wolfson is in charge of an institute for Jewish educators. Wolfson and his wife also have a journalistic project going. Together they put out a magazine for Jewish families called "Chicken Soup," so named because its purpose is to "nourish" Jewish family life. The magazine comes out six times a year before major holidays and contains instruction on holiday games, decorations, parties, and recipes. The magazine has a circulation of 16,000. The Wolfsons have two children, Havi, six and Michael, three.

Phyllis Fedman Tejral By Gayie lichauer If you see a slim, curley-haired woman wave to you from the sidecar of a shiny, red motorcycle, wave back; it's Phyllis Fedman Tejral, 1967 Central High graduate. She and her husband, Ray, drive alii around Omaha in their one-year-old prize possession. Last summer, Ray drove the motorcycle to Colorado with passenger, Phyllis, sitting in the sidecar. "You really feel like a queen." said Phyllis, "with everyone turning around to wave at you, but if you don't wear goggles, you get bugs all over your face!" • , • After high school graduation, Phyllis attended the University of Nebraska at Omaha where she graduated in 1971 with a bachelor's degree in education. While a full-time student, Phyllis worked part-time for a local newspaper as a receptionist, and worked for two insurance companies as a claims clerk and typist. In the fall following graduation, Phyllis was hired as a sixth grade teacher for Pawnee Elementary School. She has remained there for 11 years. "I love teaching. I can really relate to my sixth graders. They are neither children nor adults," Phyllis said.

Her advice to anyone wanting to go into teaching now, is to back off since enrollment has dropped and jobs are harder to find. Phyllis enjoys her summers "to the utmost."She reads and cooks, two a vid hobbies of hers, and she cares for their garden, which covers half the Tejral's backyard. Six years ago, the Tejral's bought an older brick home in the Country Gub area. Every summer they have remodeled one room in their home, doing all their own work. Ray and Phyllis have been married for eight years. Their marriage is a religiously mixed one, with neither partner giving up the religion they were raised in. According to Phyllis this type of marriage is what yoti make it. "H is important to respect each other's background, she said, and added, "there is a lot of give and take demanded of each partner." Visitors to the Tejral's household arc greeted by Bismark and Jenny, a teacup and a miniature dachshund. Once inside their home, you can't help but notice PhyUis's owl collectron. She says she has some 60 varieties and guess where many of them come from - holiday gifts from her school kids.

Mark Abrahamson ByGayleTichaucr Just being alive and in good health is a blessing for one member of Westsidc's class of 1967. Mark Abrahamson, hair mixed with gray now and a bit heavier than in his high school days, told his unusual story. He was diagnosed to have cancer in February 1968 when he was only 18 years old. Following two operations, three hospital stays, and numerous chemotherapy treatments, Mark finally was given a clean bill of health in 1973. Mark completed only one and one-half semesters of college at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln before he became ill. He spent the following fall in California. "I thought I may never get another chance. I wanted to do something I wanted to do," Mark said. In January 1968, Mark enrolled for three semesters at Bellcvue College.

"Sometimes I'm sorry I didn't graduate, but other times I'm not. I liked working more than I liked going to school," Mark said. Mark worked for Sno-Co. from June 1968 to November 1974 as a draftsman and illustrator. He was a design engineer at AkSar-Ben fixtures from December 1974 till just last year. The planning department of the Brandeis Stores is where Mark now works. His responsibilities include designing and drafting plans for the remodeling of various stores. Mark has an amazing artistic talent. He designs with infinite precision and detail. "I've taken lots of drafting and art courses. Originally, I planned to be an architect but I didn't really like the classes in school," Mark said. Mark married Linda Fedman in March 1971 after meeting her a year earlier. Mark and Linda have two daughters, Amy, eight, and Julie, four. Mandy, a 10 year old

By Claudia Sherman After living in New York City and San Francisco, and" flying around the world as a stewardess, Bonnie Trustin decided to come home to Omaha about three years ago because she "wanted to be part of the community" she had known since she was a child. Born in Dayton, Ohio, the oldest of Yale and Litzie Trustin's three children, Bonnie moved with her family to Omaha when she was three years old. "I loved music," Bonnie said, talking about her high school days at Westside High School. "I started taking piano lessons from my grandmother when I was four," she said. Her love of music was nurtured as she grew up. "My father is a beautiful pianist," she noted. Although Bonnie performed in high school dramatic productions and sang in the chorus, her favorite extra-curricular activity was Temple Youth Group. "That was my whole life," she said. "That was how I enjoyed myself," she remembered The youth group gave her an opportunity for leadership, and she became involved in the community as a Head Start volunteer. By the time she was an eighth grader, Bonnie decided she wanted to be a grade school teacher. "It seemed like all the girls wanted to be teachers then," she sail She also dreamed about being a stewardess. "I was excited about going to college," Bonnie continued After she graduated from Westside High School in 1967, she spent two

years at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln majoring in elementary education. "I was awfully shy," she said, "but I belonged to a small social sorority which afforded me the opportunity to be put up for a lot of college queen contests. I enjoyed myself, but after a couple years of all that rah-rah stuff I just decided I wanted 1o be in a smaller setting." She was looking for a more personal environment. She spent her junior year at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and became involved in tutoring at OPS's (Omaha Public Schools') Reading Clinic, a remedial reading resource center. But Bonnie was getting bored with Omaha. Fulfilling a childhood dream, she became a stewardess with Pan American Airlines. She was stationed in New York City which she found extremely exciting. She loved absorbing the culture New York had to offer and "hung out at the museums." She was flying around the world, but due to her erratic working schedule, Bonnie found it difficult to meet people her own age. Her parents were supportive of her decision to live in New York, and she truly appreciated that. "I had to be tough for my own protection," she said. After 14 months of this free and independent life, Bonnie returned to Omaha to^ finish her college education. After graduating, she held a variety of secretarial jobs while waiting for a teaching opportunity to turn up. Finally, through the Reading Clinic, she got a

job at a school that had a special reading program. However, the job turned out to be a disappointment. She felt as though all she was doing was "shuffling papers for ISO kids." Bonnie left Omaha again in 1976 for San Francisco. She was a travel agent and also worked for a furniture manufacturer in an administrative position. "I liked California," but she eventually decided she wanted to be part of the community she had known all her life. In the spring of 1979, she came home to Omaha again. Living away from home on her own she felt she gained self-confidence and realized her priorities. Things came together for Bonnie this past fall. She was able to combine her lifelong love of music with her desire to teach children on a one-to-one basis. She became trained in the Suzuki method of teaching piano lessons. "Suzuki was my dream even though I didn't know it," Bonnie said. She teaches on a fulltime basis to children aged 2'i to 13. "Suzuki fosters an appreciation of music, and it promotes bonding between parents and their children," she added. The method also builds self-confidence and pride in her students, Bonnie believes. Bonnie also teaches a group of preschoolers at Temple Israel when they meet periodically in an introductory Sunday School program. For her own physical exercise she enjoys ballet. She feels good about what she's doing. "I enjoy what I'm doing and I know where I'm going."

Mark Zalkin

By David BlUner Perhaps the "Bunch" member who went on to make the most of music as a vocation was Mark Zalkin, whose college career at Northwestern, where he earned his B.A. in music education and his M.A. in music, brought him opportunities to sing and teach music in Chicago synagogues and invitations to sing professionally in Chicago area Jewish choirs. "A whole new world opened up for me when I got to Chicago," said Zalkin. "They hired music teachers at the many synagogues in town, whereas at Omaha synagogues, the cantors had filled that role. In Chicago there was a Bureau of Jewish Education'that I got my jobs through." Still, though, as the Central High Register quoted him in 1966, Zalkin was always aware that music "was a game of breaks and an insecure way to earn a living," so he ultimately decided to augment his area of music specialty with expertise in another area. After serving for two years as Cultural Arts Director of the Omaha JCC and finding jobs in the business field unrewarding, Zalkin went to Yeshiva University in New York to earn an M.A. in social work. Now, as Zalkin put it, he "was more than a specialist." "Fortpeople who know no more than that I have a master's in social work," said Zalkin, "my master's in music comes as a surprise. It's a conversation piece, since people who direct Jewish community centers usually haven't come through the ranks of performing arts and music." Since 1980 Zalkin has served as executive director of the North Valley Jewish Community

Center in Granada Hills, Cal., a Los Angeles suburb. "Occasionally when I talk to friends," said Zalkin, "they ask me what a nice Jewish boy is doing being director of a Jewish community center. My answer to them is that there is a lot of satisfaction in working with people and helping people achieve their goals." Zalkin said the location of the community center poses a real challenge to him as its director. "There are 500,000 Jews in Los Angeles," said Zalkin, "and only 20 percent of them are affiliated with any Jewish organization or in- \ stitution. Not only do we have a challenge before us in seeking more affiliates, but the situation is different from that of a city the size â&#x20AC;˘ of Omaha, where there is only one center. Here we have competition from other Jewish community centers in attracting new members," Zalkin said a challenge also lies in helping people who join his center to lead more Jewish lives. "We're expanding and drawing a lot more young families in our area," he said. "One o f our main attractions is our 120-member preschool. For a lot of our members this is their first contact with an organized Jewish community. We hope that people who join the center will go on and affiliate with synagogues." Zalkin said that the reputation of southern California as the lunatic fringe of the United States doesn't bother him. "There's no reason LA. Jewry shouldn't be a thriving Jewish community," he said. "Sure, it's bizarre and

strange-extremists, conservatives, criminals, dangerous drivers-but the people still have religious needs which must be met, and 1 enjoy being part of that. While still doing my music, I am able to be heavily involved with administration, which I enjoy, and working with people." Zalkin married the former Susan Flaxer of Denver in 1973. The Zalkins have two children: Sarah, six; and David, two.

Diane Epstein By Gayle Tichauef7 Remember hearing about the school truant officers.. Diane Epstein Zipay is one. She works for the Omaha Public Schools as a community counselor; an advocate for the student. . •« • Among her varied responsibilities are to help locate suitable agencies for parents with family problems, to investigate child abuse and neglect cases, to refer delinquent children to the courts, and to place children having special needs into a school system. When students are suspected of being in possession of marijuana or other related drugs, it is Diane's job to go into the schools to test the substance. She covers four elementary schools in North central Omaha and works part-time with a junior high school in the same area, Drug abuse, according to Diane, is not too prevalent because she is working with the lower grades. However, it does occur not only with students but also with parents bringing in drugs. It is not uncommon to have at least one child abuse or neglect case per month, according to Diane. "It's hard not being able to take these kids home with you, she said, but the counselor must maintain an objective viewpoint without becoming emotionally involved."

Diane added that it is often a frustrating job as well with juvenile courts not always cooperating and irate parents refusing to compromise with the school system. The community counseling position requires a master's degree which Diane earned in 1975 from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Her degree was in educational administration and supervision. It is also necessary to have four or five years teaching experience. Diane worked for eight years as a fifth grade teacher. She taught at Laura Dodge Elementary School from fall 1972, right after earning her bachelor's degree in education from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, till June 1978. From 1978 to 1980 she taught at Springville Elementary School. Spending several months with an experienced partner is also a necessity to the position. Specific laws have to be learned and the counselor has to be able to work within the confines of these laws and Omaha Public School procedures, said Diane. Every Saturday morning she attends seminars to learn more about school policies and legal procedures. After high school Diane attended one year at the University of Missouri. In 1969, she married and returned to school

as a full-time student at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Diane started working with the Center for Applied Urban Research. While at the Center, Diane did an independant study of the distribution of the Jewish population in Omaha. She took all Jewish adults over 18 and computerized them by name and address to establish residential patterns. The project took her all summer, working eight hours a day. Diane's goal for this summer is to do a comparable study to see the change in the movement of the Jewish population. Diane remarried in May 1973 to John Zipay, then a research associate at UNO. John is now a demographer for the Metropolitan Area Planning Agency. Michele Jacalyn, the Zipay's first child was born April 1975, just before Diane received her master's degree. Then.in June 1978, the Zipays had Jeremy Michael. This was just a month after they had moved into their present home which John and Diane completely renovated by themselves. Family always comes first to Diane. Without, the help and cooperation of her husband and parents, a career combined with homemaking would have been most difficult, said Diane. "Without it I wouldn't be where I am today," she said. For relaxation Diane cooks. "I love it," she said, as she offered to give me a copy of a gourmet recipe she personally composed.

Diane with husband. John, and children, Michele and Jeremy

She also belongs to a bridge club and is on a bowling league. . (> Diane's future plans include going back to school for a doctorate degree after her children are both in school.

Judith Ann Susman An open Letter to the Class of 1967: Where do I begin? I can't believe I'm 33! I still feel like I'm only 18 years old! It was only yesterday I was being reprimanded by our vice principal (whose name escapes me now) for wearing a mini-skirt to graduation rehearsal! For shame! Currently I'm living and loving in Denver. Colorado where winter days are sunny and average almost 50 degrees. I couldn't stand going through another gray Nebraska winter so one day years ago I headed for milder temperatures and the ski slopes of Colorado. However, prior to my Colorado move I attended the Universiy of Nebraska where I received what almost every Jewish girl does...a bachelor of science degree in elementary education! I taught school for several years in Lincoln, concentrating on the arts. I became involved in live theater there and was nominated for the Best Actress Award for the Lincoln Community Playhouse in 1977-78. Another love of mine was Theater, Inc., a group of actors that performed melodramas. I was an original cast member in the play, "Going, Going, Gone with the Wind", which was later published. Alas, I wish I had become involved in Central High players but actually the notion never crossed my mind. Too bad, maybe I could have a famous actress instead of director of communications for -REALTY WORLD Corporation of Colorado and Wyoming. I am the focal point for all public relations

and advertising within our corporation. REALTY WORLD Is a real estate franchise organization with 80 member broker offices in Colorado and Wyoming and more than MOO offices in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Nope, acting wasn't for me in high school, I was too busy playing my saxophone in the school band for Mr. Harrison! I haven't played my "sax" for 15 years! The best part of being in the band was the friendships I cultivated, especially with Mark Bernstien. and his buddies. (Yes Mark, I still remember how to spell your name!) Those were good times. Another friendship I remember well was with my dear friend, Diane Epstein. Currently I am a member of the Denver Women's Press Club and have plans to travel to

Mark Jacobson By Bert Lewis What was it like to be a member of (he class of '67? I asked Mark Jacobson thai question recently, and heard answers that might have come from someone speaking of 1957! "We came out of high school when there was still a fearful respect of teachers - when being caught smoking in the washroom was almost a criminal offense • when there were no racial problems. "When there was still a dress code which dictated properly cut hair, belts always worn with trousers (nobody even THOUGHT of wearing jeans!) and when the girls were still wearing skirts to school. "It was a time when some high school kids'were still fairly innocent about the drug problems which would soon accelerate." Few were showing any signs of political interest, although the national Draft Lottery was reality, and Mark, along with his contemporaries would register when their government told them (hey must. (Mark remembers not being worried because he drew a high number.) "In the fall of 1967 I did the one thing I really wanted to do. I went to the University of Nebraska in Lincoln." Though he had the opportunity to go further from home, Mark thinks his choice was made with the knowledge that many of his friends would be there too...thus eliminating the necessity of being confronted with strangers who could eventually become friends.

In retrospect, he believes he might have gained more from the college experience if he had gone out of staff, hut still puts a high value on the friendships made in the fraternity house in Lincoln. In (act. <>npi)f his fraternity brothers is now his baby's pediatrician. The words "family" and "friends" figure very importantly in conversation with Mark. This 33year old has obviously given serious thought to the part each plays in his lifestyle. Although he spent two years in San Francisco after graduation from college, it is here, in his own community where he wnnls to be. lie and his wife Sheila are members of Temple Israel, the same congregation from which he was both liar Mltzvah and confirmed. He proudly explains that many of the people they see socially arc friends from his boyhood: he looks forward to the idea of his children growing up with children of his friends. He loves "working out" at the JCC with some of the same people who used (o go "across the strot from Central to the old J" with him. Mark loves his community. It's just (hat simple. He is saddened by the fact that so many of our young people now finish school and leave Omaha. He believes that his group might well be among the last to find a majority of their number still here. Though he readily admits ours is hardly a Boom Town, he is quick to list all the advantages available to Omahans. In fait, he could write copy for the Chamber of Commerce, such is his enthusiasm.

Mark with wife. Sheila, and son, Zachary. . tt's easy to see that the important words reflected in Mark's observations are a sense of continuity. Now a responsible young adult, husband and father, he has rich memories of his youth and ihe old neighborhood. His life today, as an adult, apiwars to be an extension of that early happy time. He wants his children to have the same advantages of a large family close by. and good friends within easy reach. Though the next generation won't be able to go to the Blackstone after a party, he hopes this will Mill he a wholesome community for them. Mark liked the idea of following upon Ihe lives of the class of 'C7. "The last 15 years have seen so much change in ihe world. II will be interesting to see what others have done." And he wondered aloud what changes the next 15 years would bring.

Renee Ratner

By David Bittner One member of the class of '67 who modeled diamonds for a while following school found out that a girl could have better friends after all and decided to try to find some by throwing her hat into the political ring. Renee Ratner had one year of college at the University of Oklahoma, and then worked fora year in Texas modeling diamond rings and working for a designer of pulpit clothing. Returning to Omaha, Ratner got a job working in the complaint department at City Hall. Gene Leahy, who amused her with his "crazy stunts," was mayor at the time. Thinking he saw Ratner becoming interested in politics, Ratner's father signed her up to work on J.J. Exon's gubernatorial campaign. For a little over a year Ratner stuffed envelopes and made phone calls for Exon. At the same time she continued to field complaints about garbage pick-up and snow removal from irate citizens, and stayed on the job when Eld Zorinsky won the race for mayor and became her new boss. Following an interim period, during which she worked for Representative John Y. McCollister and the City Planning

That all changed when Ratner Department, she went back to work for Zorinsky, now U.S. began to work for Exon in his first Senator, as the manager of his campaign for governor. "I told myself that government was where Omaha office. In her capacity as right-hand it was all happening-right where I person to Zorinsky, Ratner was," she said. "You picked up the schedules appointments and ap- newspaper and you saw all these pearances for the Senator, tries to things going on right where you give him a grasp of public opinion were. It was very exciting to be in on the home front, and represents the middle of it all." Going to work for McCollister him at meetings he cannot attend. She speaks of having a "deep opened her eyes even further, said commitment" to the man she Ratner. "Now I had to learn about works for, and from the way she things on a national level-the whips out the right clippings at the Agnew scandal, Watergate. And mention of the word "AWACS," that's when I began to develop an and deftly quashes a question interest in broader things, simply about rumored kickbacks to the because I saw all these things Senator from military defense going on. "I got to make the big trip to contractors, that much is obvious. Ratner remembers having been Washington and see things at first interested "not at all" in govern- hand," she continued. "I was ment either as a high school or fascinated to sec everything that goes into the voting procollege student. "I wasn't at all into the civil cedure and how a bill goes from rights or anti-war movement when the Senate to the House and how I was a student," she said. "I was it's finally passed." Her jobs in government have never an activist. My friends weren't either. Some of that was increased her admiration and beginning, but we were still appreciation of the American wearing vee-neck sweaters and political system, said Ratner. "We meet people from all over button-down collar shirts." "It was all on the national news, the world because we have a lot of but it wasn't where I was, and I immigration problems," she said. hadn't developed an interest or "The Senator had some people thought I knew enough to have an from Nicaragua here, and they told stories about their country that you opinion on any of it."

wouldn't believe. It makes you realize how lucky you are to live in this country, where you can come and go as you please, have your own religious beliefs, have freedom of the press and the right to vote. If it was so great everywhere else there wouldn't be so many people from other countries who want to live in the U.S." "When people call screaming and yelling that this country is terrible, I'd like to tell them that they should see what it's like to live in some other countries," she finished. Politics aside, what's an attractive young woman like Ratner doing unmarried. "I think a lot of men would have a hard time keeping up with the pace I keep," she said. "I'd like to marry a man who could understand that just as he has to do his own thing, I've got to do mine, and that after 5 p.m. we do our thing. But it's very difficult to find a man like that."

Mark Siref

By Janice Deity

"I had rough edges in high school." the man behind the desk explained. "I've honed them down considerably in the past 15 years. Shifting his position behind the desk he described a rebellious youth with a duck tail hairstyle, mean mouth and confused attitudes. The man behind the desk is Mark E. Siref, presently director of sales promotion and merchandise at Nebraska Wine and Liquors, Inc. He has traded in his 19C7 black T-shirt, complete with a pack of Camels rolled up in the sleeve, for a 1982 three-piece business suit. "I was a rowdy in high school," he admits," back then there was a lot social pressure. It all boiled down to who you dated and what you drove." Mark drove a beat up '5! "mere" back then and has changed his image entirely today. Recently he has settled into a more stable home life since his marriage to his wife, Susie, on Valentine's day of this year. Upon his graduation from high school. "I just barely made it through," he iasists. his parents presented him with a considerable amount of money which they intended for him to use to go on to college. Mark took the money and headed immediately for the east coast. While in New York he became involved with a Zionist action movement group. After having paid a small fee, at 18 he volunteered to participate in the Israeli Six Day War. After returning to the States about a year later he began.a series of jobs. First he started a delicatessen in the Old Market section of Omaha. He sold the Business and got a job as a store manager for Zales. In 1973 he became beverage manager for a hotel chain and since 1975 has been first a salesman and now director

of sales with Nebraska Wine and Liquors, Inc. Mark tries to divide his time fifty-fifty between his family and his work. "Both are extremely important to me." he said, "I couldn't have one without the other." While he'is not particularly active in the Jewish community and does not care to be active now he said he may someday, when time allows, become more active. "I don't have the time right now," he said, "but I don't want to discount the idea that I ever will have the time." A recovering alcoholic since 1979 he chuckles about the incongruous job he has at Nebraska Wine and Liquors. In the past two or three years he has lectured before young people on his past experiences with alcohol and urges them not to abuse the product that he sells. "I feel that it is very important to contact the youth." he said referring to the use and abuse of alcohol, "to let them know there are other ways." A self-described rowdy in high school Mark knows how easy it is to succumb to alcohol. He feels that he is doing his part for youth by IwUtfhTyg ajidj^cmjrse by resisting alcohol himself. Mark met his wife, Susie Hart, through his younger brother. After a rocky first marriage which ended in divorce three years ago Mark felt that he was more, stable and more ready to txr a responsible husband. Whether or not Mark and Susie will have children is a matter of debate right now. Newly married, they don't want to rush a family but neither do they want to wail too long, a problem (faced-, by many modern couples. Dividing his interests between home and the office are enough for Mark. "Between home and here (work) I have more than enough to keep me busy."

J

Jeff Cooper By Claudia Sherman "I was a wild guy when I was in high school," said Jeff Cooper. "I wasn't really that bad of a kid, I was just mischievous and had to be disciplined a lot." His mother, Mrs. Nate (Celia) Cooper, agreed: "He was always kind of a comedian. He wasn't really a problem though." Jeff attended Central High School and after school hours, he would go across the street to the old Jewish Community Center on 20th and Dodge Streets where he used "to fool around playing all kinds of sports with his friends." Jeff was also active in his AZA chapter. "AZA was powerful when I was in high school. It sounds snobbish but that's the way it was," he said. After high school graduation in 1967, Jeff and most of the same boys with whom he attended high school and had joined AZA went to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln for college. -.

They opened a short-lived ZBT chapter there—ZBTLwas ^continuation of AZA," he noted. Although most of the young men with whom he was close friends went to Lincoln for college, many girls he had known in high school went out-of-state to college. Jeff dated non-Jewish girls when he was in college, something he did not do in high school. . Out of respect for his parents, "I never would have considered marrying a non-Jew," Jeff says now. He says he realizes today why it is important to him to be married to a Jew.

Jeff is s ill close friends with almost all the same youn »sters with whom he started grade school. "I i ave a wild sense of humor," he said. He thinks tiat may have earned him his place in his grou > of friends. "It was ough to find a job when I graduated college," Jeff remembered. But he finally did go to work for a clothing store. One nigl t during the fall of 1973 when he was out having a good time with his friends, Jeff met a Jew sh girl from Council Bluffs at the Pancake House The young woman, Ronda Suvalsky, v. ho was to be his bride the following year, was a student at the University of Nebraska j t Omaha at the time. Shereca led how he used to call her at 7 p.m. on a Salurc ay night to go out on a date that night. Her r lother didn't think that was exactly perfect etiq jette, but she was glad Ronda was dating a Jewish boy. 1974 was an eventful year for Jeff. On May 30, he and Ronda became engaged. "I remember tj lat day because I made the biggest investment af my life," Jeff recalled, referring to Ronda's aigagement ring. On DecHffl oMhe same year, Ronda and Jeff were married at Beth Israel Synagogue. • Between them, six of their grandparents attended Uv wedding. Also in 1974, Jeff got a new job wit Ed Phillips & Sons, an Omaha wholesale li |uor house, a company for which he has worked for the past eight years. Jeff's did Nate, has been in the liquor business fo 34 years and works for a cornpetitorof Je'f 's company. "My dad didn't think

Jeff and Ronda Suvalsky Cooper — married in 1974. he'd have a liquor salesman for a son," Jeff joked. But on the serious side, Jeff said, "My dad has helped me in this business, because of his good reputation." Jeff feels his opinions and attitudes have matured with the responsibility that comes with marriage and a family. "I'm still really a kid. I still like to have a good time," he said. "If I wasn't married, I'd be doing just what I used to do," he added. With the birth of son Joshua on Feb. 15,1977 and daughter Erin on March 20,1980, Jeff's and Ronda's responsibilities grew. "The greatest thrill of my life was when my son-and later my daughter-were born," said Jeff. "Havingchildren is partof life. It's part of^ growing up/* he said: RcldaTdaed that "he is very overprotective when it comes to the kids." Jeff and Ronda and their children have every Friday night dinner with their parents. Josuha, at five, can already say Kiddush. "We're very family oriented," she said. Their parents are always welcome to drop in at Jeffs and Ronda's home in West Omaha. "I hope I can give my children at least what I had when I was growing up," Jeff said: "My Dad had to work his way through school. I didn't have to work to get through school, but I did during the summers anyway," he explained. "Everything is relative to the economic standard," Jeff noted mentioning that many people have two cars and everyone has television sets comparing today's lifestyle to when his parents were his age. "Maybe I would take school more seriously if I had it to do over again,*; Jeff said. "Back in high school I didn't think about finding a job and making ends meet. In high school, you're in a dream world."

Jeff with wife, Ronda, and children, Joshua and Erin.

He's anxious to provide for his children's financial security. Along with a friend, Ronda owns a personalized gift business called Handprints at The Avenue at Crossroads Shopping Center where she works about 25 hours a week. "Children grow up so fast...I don't want to miss seeing all that," he said, sounding more like a concerned parent that a kid out for a good time.

Dr. Gerald (Jerry) Simons' story is one of hard work, success, and good fortune. This 1967 Westside graduate is an ear, nose and throat specialist. He spends half his 12-hour days in his office at the Doctor's Building and the other half day in surgery, primarily at Clarkson and Ixilheran. Jerry drinks no coffee in the mornings. He must have a firm hand when performing with delicate, microscopal surgery demanded of many ear operations, and coffee causes a fine tremor, according to the doctor. Patients treated by Dr. Simons generally suffer from dizziness, a hearing loss, ear tumors, or ear infections. However, Jerry and the two physicians he is in practice with, also routinely treat patients suffering from sinasitus, allergies, and head or neck cancers. Dr. Simons also performs cosmetic surgery on the ears and nose of (hose people desiring such treatment. Referring to his work with hearing restoration Jerry said. "There is nothing done that is more gratifying." He cited a case of a man in his 60s who had lost his ability to hear in both cars while still a very young child. After having surgery the man's hearing was restored. "It happens occasionally; said Jerry, "and when it does it's really dramatic to me, like something you'd see in the movies," Jerry is also part-owner in an Omaha Pontiac dealership. He is particularly interested in the buying and selling of MercedesBenz. Jerry considers his involvement with the Mercedes to be a hobby. He has owned several of the cars but they are always up for sale. Jerry always wanted to practice medicine. According to Jerry, his father, a well-known Omaha pathologist, never tried to influence him. [ He always told me, "do what you want but do if good," said Jerry While at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Jerry majored, in pre-med. During his summer vacations he worked full time as an autopsy assistant for his father. This was a job he began in high school and continued on a part-time basis throughout medical school. He also occasionally worked for his father-inlaw, Jim Earp, selling cars. Jerry decided to become an car, nose and, throat specialist because "I liked being with people and working with my hands," he said. He then added that head and neck anatomy was always his favorite area. After completeing pre-med in three years, Jerry attended the University of Nebraska Medical Center where he earned his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1974. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; InTesideticy, Jerry completed one year of general surgery and three years on ENT specialized surgery at University Hospital, Clarkskon Hospital, and Veteran's Hospital. Dr. Simons went into his present practice with Dr. Carter and Dr. Duff in July 1978. Jerry married Judy Earp in August 1970, the same year he entered medical school. The Simons' first son, Jimmy was born in 1977 and Johnny was born two years later. Judy and Jerry snow ski in the winter and try to visit the Carribean or Hawaii once or twice throughout the year to scuba dive. They are both certified divers. In reflection of all that has happened to Jerry since high school, he said, "It's better than I thought it would be. I didn't'think it would be this good."

Alan and Donna Hirsch By David Bitlner Two members of the class of '67 who graduated from rival schools in New Jersey thought after they became engaged that they had buried the past-until they went together to a homecoming football game between their alma maters and ended up sitting on opposite sides of the field. Alan and Donna Hirsch recalled the days when they were anything but high school sweethearts and "probably would never have spoken to each other" if they had known of each other's existence. Alan was a high school student in Hackensack, New Jersey. Popular around school, he was president of his senior class and a self-described "jock." He was active athletically in the V.M.H.A. and worked hard in a curriculum designed to prepare students for engineering and natural science courses in college. Meanwhile, across the river in Teaneck, New Jersey, a more affluent, more predominately Jewish town. Donna Ratner was growing up in a family that was "more observant" than her future husband's and running around with a more Jewish crowd. Her favorite extra-curricular activity was Future Teachers of America, a club she took seriously since she

had real intentions of teaching some day. Alan spent his first- year of college at Rutgers as a physics major and Donna enrolled in education courses her first year at Trenton State. The summer following their freshman year of college Alan's and Donna's families moved into the same apartment building and they met for the .first time. Having both "matured somewhat." Donna found herself able to tolerate someone who'd gone to school in "hoody" Hackensack and Alan found he didn't mind a girl who'd gone to school in "classy" Teaneck. Neither Hirsch was active Jewishly in college. Alan's life at Rutgers revolved around his fraternity andrsporting events, and Donna did not feel the need to join Jewish organizations on campus because she had "a strong Jewish family base" to provide Jewishness in her life. ~That all changed when Alan and Donna got married in 1972, the year after college graduation. Donna had just returned from a threemonth trip to Israel, and the wedding, as Alan described it, was "like something out of 'Goodbye Columbus'.'.' Donna prepared to join Alan in Laramie, Wyoming,

where Alan had already spent half a year working on a degree in resource economics, and in I-»ramie the couple's religious life followed the rule that the degree of Jewish observance in the home is in inverse proportion to the number of Jews in the community. "The non-Jews in Laramie thought we were weird ethnic outsiders," said Alan. "If you want to be isolated from Judaism, laramie is the place to be. So we made the best of it by carrying on Jewish rituals in our home. In our minisculc apartment we had a seder. We invited gentile friends to share in our celebrations." In these holiday projects the couple was helped by Donna's mother, who sent them Hanukkah candles and Passover Haggadahs. Iff 1974 the Hirsches moved to Omaha. Alan came to take a job with the Missouri River Basin Commission, a government planning agency for which he worked as an economist, planning such projects as dams and navigation channels. Last year he changed > jobs and is now the director of legislative affairs for People's Natural Gas. Donna, who said she never could get a teaching job anywhere except for some work as a substitute teacher, worked for a while • a s a receptionist for Dana. Larson, •and Koubal in Omaha, and eventually became a committed club woman. Her first activity was ORT. which she joined because she found it a popular organization with women her age. She went on to join the National Council of Jewish Alan and Donna with son, David.

Women, on whose board she has served, and is currently on the JCC pre-school committee. Civic activities for Donna include the Women's Zoo Board, the Children's Museum and the Junior I,eague. "When we arrived here, we joined the JCC, and that's what really got us involved in the Jewish community." said Alan. Alan serves on the membership committee of the JCC and is a member of unad hoc task force planning the grounds of I he JCC campus. He is also active in the Council Bluffs legislative Action Committee and was a loaned executive for the I'nitcd Way. Though they say it "took a little while" for them to 1M? accepted in the Omaha Jewish community. Alan and Donna now say they really feel a part of things. Not only that, but they report that their parents were particularly impressed by the city and its Jewish community when they came for grandson David's bris four years ago. Like many Jews from the East who are shocked to find Jewish life in the midwest, Omaha really surprised them, said the Hirsches. "My father came prepared with sacks and sacks of kosher food, including nine dozen bagels," said Donna. "Once he was here and saw all that Omaha had to offer in the way of Jewish things, he took pictures of the JCC to show the folks back home. Now he's even talking about sponsoring excursions from the East to see Omaha and its JCC!" __.—.,,..The H irsches are affiliated with Beth El Synagogue.

Scnwartz Insurance Agency

ByGayleTichauer Steve Epstein, a Central High graduate, is still the image of his father, Sam, only now there is a third reflection; eight-year-old Andy, the Epstein's oldest child. Steve attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln till he graduated in June 1971 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. "When I started college I had the preconceived notion that all the big corporations would be knocking down their doors but that didn't happen with me," Sttve said. He went to work for Nogg Fruit Company, a wholesale food distributor, in 1971, and is now vice president of the company. He is also vice president of the newly formed Fruit Basket, a unique gift store. "The last thing I ever expected to be doing when I left high school was to go into the family business," Steve said. Nogg Fruit Company is a family owned business run by Steve's father, himself, and his two brothers. In addition to a son, Steve and Judy also have a four-year-old daughter, Laurie. They are expecting their third child in July. Steve and Judy are avid skiers and go almost every year to ski resorts in California or Colorado. Keystone, Colorado is their favorite place to ski. Traveling has become a much enjoyed hobby with the Epsteins. They try to take vacations three or four times a year. Some of the places they have traveled to include

Susan Solotrovsky Babendure Reflecting back fifteen years brings to mind many joyful events during tender high school days. The most prominent event in my mind is the AZA -BBG Winter Convention of 1965. Because it was snowy and I was not confident in my driving skills (plus having had a driver's license only one month) I persuaded an "upper classman" for rides to all of the various activities for that week. Hevrah, my BBG Chapter, had run away with most the Chapter

Awards and honors. But I came away from'that Convention with the best honor of a l l - that "upper classman" - my future husband, Shelly Babendure. After dating through the rest of my high school years, we married in 1968. We now have two terrific and challenging kids - Tamara Jyl aged 8, and Jeremy Ryan, aged 3. In between helping to build a marriage and raising children (and a 12 year old Schnauzer named Shayna) I contined studies at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. In 1971, I received a bachelor of science in education with a major in speech pathology and audiology. I worked as a clinician for ENCOR, a community based program for the retarded. Furthering studies part-time, in 19761 received a master's degree in my field. I then worked for a local school system. Being a native Omahan for 32 years made a recent move to Scottsdale, Arizona quite difficult. We all miss family and friends but are adjusting to our new surroundings and WARM climate. We are members of a newly formed Jewish Community Center and hope to set down roots so that our children will also hold fond memories of their high school days. Thank you for allowing me to share in this special issue of the Press. Happy Pesach to all!

Carl Tichauer

1

By Gayle Tichauer "Ola's have been replaced by "hi's" and the Blow, questioning "no's?" at the end of each sentence have been dropped, leaving strong, affirmative statements. But the warm, friendly smile remains the same. Carl Tichauer, the handsome, young stranger, who was the talk of all the high school girls back in the 'GO's, is still as handsome as ever but definitely no stranger. Carl, who came from Montevideo, Uruguay in 1963 has been a U.S. citizen, for the past 14 years. He works for Critikon, the Critical Care Division of Johnson and Johnson Company, as a sales trainer. His work involves selling surgical equipment, training the hospital staff in its use, and maintaining positive public relations with medical professionals. He also trains incoming sales representatives in all phases of the business. Carl earned the distinct honor of being a member of "Tour de Force", the highest honor given to sales representatives with Critikon. When I asked Cart to tell me all about his life since high school, he responded, "You know as much as I do, just write it down." lnterveiwing ones own husband proved to be a very difficult task. Writing about him was no easier!

Carl attended two years of college, following high school, at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, where he was affilliated with Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity. He completed college at the University of Nebraska al Omaha, earning a bachelor's degree in secondary education. After Carl's junior year, in 1970, he married Gayle Ixrnian, (and since I am writing this story 1 feel fret* to relate some of the particulars of this relationship.) It was a four year on and off again affair followed by two years when neither of us knew anyone else existed. Following marriage, Carl completed school while working as a shoe salesman. Ho worked for an insurance company as a life underwriter right after college graduation. Meanwhile, the Tichauer's bought their first home, in 1973. in Gretna. Nebraska and Carl grabbed at the chance to work in the camera division of GAF as a sales representative - Carl is a dedicated camera buff. In his two and one-half years with the company, he attained number one sales position in his region. Striving for bigger and better opportunities, the Tichauer family, now consisting of a son, Cory, born March 1975 and a newborn daughter, Jayme, born

Carl with wife, Gayle, and children, Jayme and Cory. June 1978. moved back into southwest Omaha. It was at this time that Carl was offered his position with Johnson and Johnson whom he has been with ever since.

Paul Bleicher

r

~~^

By David Bittner

Paul Bleicher was an ordinary college student, taking pre-med courses at UN-0 and supporting himself with a part-time job in the stockyards, when all of a sudden one day at work a bull just decided to take him by the horns. Getting butted over a fence by the irate beast landed Bleicher in the hospital for a week, and during his convalescence from a concussion, he began to think about the course his life was taking. He decided he needed a change, so after dropping out of school and being rejected by the Army because of flat feet, Bleicher threw a dart at the map and hit Seattle. "One-hundred-thousand people had just been laid off by Boeing when I got to Seattle," said Bleicher. "The only jobs available were solicitation jobs, so I got a job selling encyclopedias. "I gradually worjjedrwprto a position asanatipjial-tfaTner, which meant that t went around the country teaching salespeople how to sell books to the public and to school systems." Bleicher spent eight years in the business until he discovered larceny in it Disgusted, he left the books business, first for a temporary job. driving a truck fora lumberyard, and then as a salesman for a refrigerator manufacturer.

Then two years ago Bleicher came back to the business he'd really loved since boyhood, when he worked weekends and vacations with his father and brothers on one of two family-owned farms. "I'd always wanted to farm. It was in my blood." said Bleicher. "The only thing that had kept me from it before is that it's not easy to work with your father on the same job. But my father agreed to let me have free rein now, so 1 decided \Jo come back to the farm." \ Bleicher's 120-acre farm is located 2Q miles from Omaha between Glenwood and Pacific Junction, Iowa. He had the help of a tenant farmer in running the place until last November when the man had to quit because of failing health. Over half the farm's acreage is used for the planting of crops-corn and alfalfa. The rest is used as pasture for livestockcattle, sheep, and recently a few hogs, which Bleicher said he bought as "an educational experience" since he'd had little experience with the animals before. All the cattle on the farm are raised for beef production. "I have what you call a 'cow-calf operation," said Bleicher. "Calves are 'fed out,' which takes from 18 to 24 months, and when they're fat enough they're sold to the butcher." At the same time Bleicher raises his cattle for slaughter, he also treats them much as a veterinarian would treat animals.

|J

Avhen I was taking my pre-med courses at UN-O," said Bleicher. "And I still treat the animals as individuals. Somebody else can look at a herd of black angus and see nothing but a bunch of black cows. I can tell them all apart by looks and personality. They're not much different from people in that respect. "I like to help a cow that's having trouble dropping her calf and to watch a baby calf learning how to walk just after

it's born," he added. Bleicher said he takes the same kind of pleasure in watching his crops grow. "It's not like raising tomatoes in your back yard," he said. "You have a whole field covered with weeds. Then you clear it and plant it and in two weeks you have thousands of plants growing, and you know that's all because of you. There's also a sense of accomplishment in fighting nature, erosion and that sort of thing." Bleicher was asked if his religion served him in a business not famous in this country as one in which Jews predominate. As a religion of "common sense," he answered, Judaism did prepare him for some parts of farming. "Back in the days when everybody kept kosher they knew it was dangerous to eat pork because %of trichinosis," explained Bleicher. "Though the disease isn't prevalent anymore, it still exists, and there arc ways such as proper ways of feeding animals to prevent it." Bleicher said he also conforms with the Talmudic law of not eating himself until he has fed his animals. "I figured out that myself," he said. For as long as he has been back running the farm, Bleicher has also been back in school at Iowa Western Community College. "Even though I grew up part-time on a farm and knew something about livestock, I still didn't know all the specifics of farming," he said, "so I enrolled in school two years ago." "1 think the curriculum includes too' much on paperwork-keeping records, figuring taxes, that sort of thing-nut I get a lot out of classes in planting and the operation and care of machinery," he continued. Bleicher has become quite the BMOC at school. Rallying round him are those who shared his view that too much of the students' activities fees were going to support a college baseball JeamJileicherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; became elected president of the student senate. As far as his instructors go, Bleicher says he thinks they probably regard him as a thorn in their sides, but thinks they probably enjoy having him in class, too "I was taking a course in tires, batteries and fuel," said Blcicher, "and I caught a mistake in an exam question. I called it to the teacher's attention in the middle of the exam. He threw the question but. I suppose they'll be glad when I graduate!" he laughed.

Michael Meiches

By David Bittner For one member of the class of '67 who says his high school career was one of uninspired performances in boring classes and membership in meaningless school clubs, life after high school in southern California has been one of excitement and profit. "I didn't belong to the elite clique of Jewish kids who got good grades and were active in their synagogues," said Michael Meiches, "I was a 'C student, and went with my friends to basketball games and played poker with them on the weekends. The only reason I joined clubs was that 1 thought it would look good next to my name in the yearbook. "But after school my luck changed," Meiches continued. "I'm rich how and proud of my life-style. I'd rack up my accomplishments with anybody else's." Actually, Meiches' fortunes first took an upward swing during his sophomore year in college at UNO. An aunt of his who was impressed with his writing ability urged him to take some journalism courses and write for the UNO student newspaper. Meiches wrote an article analyzing the women's athletic program at UNO. The piece attracted the attention of the editors, who now proceeded to give him more and more assignments. Eventually Meiches became sports editor of the paper and after that, was elected to be editor-in-chief. In his capacity as a B.M.O.C., Meiches also attracted the eyes of representatives of the -Federal Trade Commission, who solicited Meiches' help in some surveillance projects. After college, the FTC told Meiches it had more work for him in Los Angeles. Meiches had already spent some time with family in southern California, had fallen in love with the area, and jumped at the chance to relocate there. Then, after working for a time with the FTC in Los Angeles, Meiches decided to puLhis UNO advertising degree to work by becoming in-

volved in (he billboard business. "A lot of people don't understand this." said Meiches, "but the most complex phase of the billboard business is the real estate end of it. Some interesting people got me involved in real estate deals, and after a short time I walked away with a nice profit, plus a reputation as an expert in site locations in the outdoor advertising industry." "I finally got to know so much about billboards," Meiches went on, "that I decided to buy some billboards myself. Along with three partners. I owned 35 billboards in California and Arizona that we leased to interested parties." Admittedly "motivated by money," Meiches after a while decided to look around for another business in which he could make even more. "I wanted to make a lot of money to add to what I already had," said Meiches. "'I'd been referred to an executive recruiter in Los Angeles, and he asked me what field I wanted to get into. I told him I didn't want sales and I didn't want more advertising. He told me I seemed like an 'independent, free-spirited' man. and that I should consider becoming a 'head hunter' myself. "He said executive recruiting was much more of a sophisticated business than the usual employment agency, and that I would actually go out and find work for my clients. I tried it and became good at it immediately." In 1980 Meiches joined with three partners in buying an existing executive recruiting business in Santa Monica. They named it Proctor and Davis, though none of the partners was named either Proctor or Davis. "We wanted a name for our business that

Michael and wife Connie

would sound familiar to pecole," explained Meiches, "so we chose a ni .nc that would remind people of Proctor and Gamble or Parke Davis. That's one way we got to be a successful executive recruiting firm." Though Meiches says he had not practiced Judaism for years, he says he believes that he owes much of his success as a head-hunter to his Jewish background. "I'm not religious." said Meiches. "Religion is not what makes me tick. But being Jewish taught me a certain quickness. I've always thought that Gentiles don't know how to take a bull by the horns the way Jews do. Being Jewish taught me the instincts I need for this kind of business. I'm a natural at interviewing people." ' Meiches is also commissioner of an advertising men's soft ball league that he played in himself as a pitcher only four years ago before getting out of the advertising business. "My taking the whole thing over was inevitable," said Meiches. "I'm one of those people who aren't satisfied with being the assistant director of a project. I want to run the whole show. And I run those teams like a dictator. I've built the organization up from 14 to 38 teams." In 1980 Meiches got married three years after boasting in his 10-year high school reunion book that "though he lived near the ocean," he had "never stepped into the sea of matrimony" because "it can only bring occasional waves of applause."

Mark Bernstien

Mark Steven Bernstien, son of Lois and Gerald Bernstien, was a 1967 graduate of Central High School. Mark then attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, where he was affiliated with Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity, holding offices of secretary and vicepresident. He graduated in 1971 with a bachelor of science degree. Mark attended the University of Nebraska College of Medicine in Omaha. On June 30, 1974, at Beth El Synagogue, Mark and Lynn Ann Schneider daughter of Beatrice and Ben Schneider of Council Bluffs, were married. Mark received his doctor of medicine degree in June 1975. Mark and Lynn moved to Dallas in June of 1975, where Mark began a four year residency program in obstetrics and gynecology at Parkland Memorial Hospital. Lynn taught school for six years before their son Aaron William was born on April 8, 1978. After completing his residency in June, 1979, Mark opened his office for private practice of ObGyn at Medical City Hospital, with

Robert Milstein, a fellow Parkland resident. Son, Joel Michael was born January 1, 1980. In November of 1981 Mark became certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The Bernstiens belong to the Jewish Communiy Center, where Aaron attends pre-school and camp. Lynn belongs to National Council of Jewish Women. They support Federation and Jewish National Fund. 4 Most of the time is spent â&#x20AC;˘ working and raising the children. Although gone from Omaha for almost eight years, Mark and Lynn still keep in contact with their Omaha friends. They miss the many family members in Council Bluffs and Omaha, but consider themselves lucky to have some family nearby.

Mark with wife, Lynn, and sons Joel and Aaron.

David Katz By Janice Uetty Medicine, family and sports are the major components of the life of David Katz. The son of an Omaha grocer, he has been a practicing pathologist in Omaha since 1974 when he graduated from the University of Nebraska School of Medicine. Having been born and raised in Omaha, David expessed a special affinity for this area. "It's a good place to live," he added "my family and I especially enjoy the various activities at the Jewish Community Center." His decision to enter into the medical field was prompted by a deep-seated desire to help people, but over the years he has come to view his work, as more of a challenge than anything else. "The last 12 years of my life have been taken up with medicine," he said. "I wish I had more time to help in community events but I simply don't have the time." Both David rtnd his wife, Evelyn, are as active in the community as their busy schedules

allow. They are also the proud parents of two small children, Beth, three years old and Danny, one and a half years old. An avid sports fan David enjoys participating in sports as well as watching from the side lines. He doesn't even care to pick a favorite sport. "I love them all," he insists, "it doesn't matter if I'm watching or playing, I'm just a sports nut." Among his list of positive aspects of Omaha David ranks the golf courses as top notch. A very private person he said that he keeps very much to himself and his work and family. Still he keeps' in close contact with his high school buddies and likes to keep up on the activities of his classmates. "People, change," he said referring not only to himself but also to his classmates, "but basically personalities remain intact." As a final comment he added that he is very pleased with his life style in Omaha and has no intention of relocating.

Whenever I chance, to visit with people I know from Omaha. I invariably get some variation of "This (own is the Pits." Well, as an dx-resident, I feel I can be somewhat objective and say that Omaha is a great place. We all have a tendency to romanticize the past, along with all the at-

WMI. it WAS better than it was! Which is to say that it takes a while and some distance to gain some appreciation for your hometown and the people you grew up with. Even if Omaha isn't my choice of a place to be, it's stll a great place to be from.

Martin Shukert J

Aveva holds Rachel, left. Marty stands in front .of a city map, above.

By David Bittner ,The Jew is a creature of the city, and what could be more fitting for a member of a characteristically urban religion than to make a religion out of urbanism. That's the answer you might give to anybody who wonders how a Jewish boy like Omaha Housing and Com• munity Development Director Marty Shukert wound up in a field like that. Shukert summed up his interest in cities in this manner: "My interest was born of one in the diversity of group interaction that cities foster. I think the most important part of my career is that I try to improve the quality of the ' urban environment and try to ensure that people have adequate housing and have the tools to be self-sufficient in terms of housing in their own environment." Shukert's passion for cities goes back to his undergraduate days at Yale, where he majored in urban studies. According to Shukert, he had the usual experiences at Yale, including "going to all the right demonstrations." It was the era of protest, but since Yale was a hotbed of liberalism rather than radicalism, said Shukert, protests went no further than that. To supplement the B.A. he got from Yale, 1 Shukert wanted either an advanced degree in city planning or one in architecture. He finally opted for architecture at Berkeley, and acquired there not only another degree, but also a wife, Omahan Aveva Hahn, who was at Berkeley on sabbatical between psychology degrees. After the marriage Shukert never acted only in the interests of his own ambitions, but those of his wife, also. Accordingly, while Shukert got his master's in architecture at Berkeley, Aveva waited patiently, and after Shukert finished school he became the patient waiter while Aveva earned her master's in psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. While Aveva worked on her. degree from 1974 to 1976, Shukert worked in architectural firms in Austin, designing murals, writing for the publication of a Texas architectural society, and designing from scratch an athletic center for a Texas

college. In between stints in school for both Shukerts, the couple took a trip in 1973 to Europe and Israel, where Shukert had the opportunity to observe different kinds' of cities. He had many observations to make of that oldest and holiest of Jewish urban centers—Jerusalem. "Jerusalem was the most spectacular city I'd ever seen," said Shukert, "because it has such a sense of place. It has an amazing aura about it. "For the most part," Shukert continued, "its development by the Israelis fits very well with the city. The topographic characteristics of the city and its views that are preserved and the contours of the buildings that echo the landscape are really amazing things." Shukert called Haifa a beautiful city, too. "I'm interested in the whole kind of hill-town concept of Haifa with the different layers climbing the mountain, connected by a transit system. It was a physically beautiful, very urban sort of place," said Shukert. "There's an interesting thing about the ways these Israeli cities develop," Shukert continued, "and that's that there is a tremendous amount of street life. People are out on their balconies, with the retractable shades, playing cards and shouting down to the people in the street below. It's a very, very nice feeling." Mutual interests made the Shukerts decide on settling in Omaha. Aveva had won ap-. pointment to an internship at the Nebraska Psychiatric lastitute and Shukert was confident that he would be able to find work in his home town. And get a job he did, working in the City Planning Department where he helped plan neighborhoods and redevelopment projects. While Aveva finished her internship, wrote her dissertation and got her Ph.D., and finally got a job at Boys' Town Institute, Shukert "plugged along" in the Planning Department. Then in 1980 he was named assistant director of the Housing and Community Development Dept. and in 1981, its director.

Asked whether his career interests had germinated in his mind during his Central High School days, Shukert said they had not. but said he was still glad he had gone to high school • which prepared him for the competitive situation he encountered at Yale, when he was thrown together with boys coming from (lie best East Coast prep schools. "I'm particularly grateful for having been taught in high school how to think and talk, put ideas together in a logical sequence, and establish good reading habits and other skills,," said Shukert. A "Bunch" member and active at Beth El, Shukert expressed gratitude for his religious experience, too, a a teen-ager. "I had a pretty strong background Jcwishly that I remained serious about after high school;" said Shukert. "I learned skills at Beth El such as reading the Torah that I've never forgotten." Though admitting that there was u period of life at Yale when he went through a lot of "questioning" and didn't practice Judaism, Shukert said he became observant again. following his marriage when he and his bride lived in Austin. "We became very active in the Conservative synagogue in Austin for several reasons," said Shukert. "First of all, we were in a strange new place and the synagogue served as a central sort of thing. Second, we were gaining additional interest in growing Jewishly. In Austin I became chairman of the adult education committee at the synagogue. "In a community such as Austin where there is not a large Jewish infrastructure such as there is in Omaha, there are lots of openings that people can fill. Before we moved to Omaha I became vice-president of the congregation." In Omaha Shukert has been an active member of Beth El Synagogue. He was on the synagogue board of directors for two years, reads the Torah occasionally, and sings in the choir. The Shukerts have one daughter, Rachel, 23 / months old.

Sfcott By Claudia Sherman "I do things in a very orderly ray," said Scott Friedman, a young accountar t who has always considered himself an introvert. "I took one step at a time," he continued, referring to his days as a high school and a colic Âťe student and later in his career. A "B" student at Omaha's Cei tral High School, Scott enjoyed classes ii history, literature, speech and bookkeeping Although he liked to work with numbers and st tistics. he wasn't particularly fond of anythi ig beyond algebra in high school. "Central was probably the top hig i school in the city at that time," Scott conmented. "Many of the brightest students and best athletes went to school there," he said. "It was a unique experience with a good mixture of religions and races. Because it was an open school, almost all the Jewish students who lived in the Omaha Public School District went to Central. I think they mixed well at d at that time, everybody got along very wel he explained. â&#x20AC;˘ "I wasn't really active in any orgi nizations when I was in high school," Scott said. He enjoyed going to the old Jewish Community Center at 20th and Dodge Streets after school. He liked to attend Central's football and basketball games. Scott also bowled and golfed in his spare time. Along with uncounted other Jewish youngsters he liked to drive his ca up and down the streets of an area n ck named "Bagel", "sort of a high class ghetto, he said. The area was informally bounded by Western Avenue on the north and Underwood A venue on the south. "Glenwood Road ran righ through the middle of it," Scott explained "Where

Glenwood met Sunset trail was like 72nd and Dodge is today." he said. Scott's high school graduation in 1967 seemed important to him at that time. "It was the next biggest momentous occasion after my Bar Mitzvah." he said. He attended the University of Iowa his freshman year. Scott's parents. Lloyd and Lois Friedman, although they didn't insist, encouraged their son to meet new people. But jScott transferred to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln for his second year because he "was more comfortable there where all my friends were." he said. He majored in business with his sights set on a career in accounting. "If I missed anything in college." Scott says now. "it would have been meeting new friends. I would have tried to meet more people and experience more in high school and college than I did. But even if I had. I don't think it would have changed the direction of my life significantly," Scott mentioned. "You get set in your ways and at that time, I didn't really want to reach out to people I didn't know," he said. Scott's first job after he graduated college was with Haskins & Sells, an accounting firm, where he worked for two years. "In the four years I was in college, accounting turned into a crowded field," Scott noted. "Employers really looked at your grades when they were thinking of hiring someone," he explained. Scott also worked for a local accounting firm, O'Donnell, Ficenec. Lutz & Wills until July, 1980. Then, along with three others from that firm. Scott left to form a new company called Lutz, Kinsey. Friedman & Meyers which is located at 130th and Arbor Streets. While his career was coming together, Scott's personal life was also going in a new

direction. In 1977, he met Debbie Anon, a student in Lincoln. Scott and Debbie were married in June. 1979 in Cheyenne. Wyoming, Debbie's hometown, right after she graduated from college. Debbie agrees about her husband's orderliness. "He's very organized," she commented. Nevertheless, from January through the middle of April. Scott's business requires as many as 70 or 80 hours a week sometimes. He's also realized that "if I'm going to be successful in my field. F have to be outgoing enough for people to have confidence in me and to be at ease." he said. "Even though I still consider myself an introvert," he continued. "I've become more open. I have to have an image that people can trust and feel comfortable with." Scott is also treasurer of Jewish Family Services and a member of the Board of Trustees of the SID which includes El Dorado where he and Debbie bought a house two years ago. For someone who didn't think very much about what his next step in life would be as he was growing up and developing his career. Scott is "happy and satisfied with my life the way things have turned out so far." he said. "I'm surprised things have gone so smoothly. Everything sort of fell into place." he said. At 32. Scott says "I don't feel any age. I couldn't conceive of being 30. Depending on my mood. I'm capable of feeling anything from 12 to 50 years old." he explained. Scott and Debbie would like to have a family. It's also important to him to see his business grow and be successful. "I want to build on what I have established so far. Whatever happens to come along in my life." he added. "I'll just live it."
