I knew your mother Alma Schwartz from a long time ago. Her
parents Lena and Eddy were good friends of my
parents. The Schwartz’s and my parents were among the founders and members of
the first and only snynagogues in Belmont .
Before their arrival from Boston , Chelsea , and other older communities around Boston , Belmont
was a pure Yankee town—virtually all white Anglo-Saxon Protestants—with a
smathering of Irish Catholics and Italians.
