The letters are really interesting to me because as a small business person, and my grandfather died in 1945 and my grandmother Sadie Schottenstein, who we called Mimi, took over the business and she ran it by herself until 1957. And I have, actually, this is interesting, I have a lot of letters that they had written to each other when he went overseas to Lithuania, I believe, to see his mother before she passed in 1926. My mother’s father died before I was born. So Diane, maybe you could start by telling us a little bit about any grandparents or even great-grand-parents you know just so we can kind of get your roots. This is Bill Cohen for the Columbus Jewish Historical Society and we’re at the Columbus Jewish Center today which is Memorial Day and we’re interviewing Diane Mathless Warren.
