The summer of 1962 my loving Aunt Adah enrolled me in swimming lessons. I did not have a swimsuit so she not only bought the suit for me but also bought me a swim cap and terry jacket to put on when I got out of the water. This is only one of the many loving memories of Aunt Adah. She was also a role model for me and was always there when I needed her. I miss her so much.
