Hi Amy,

Do you know if your mom and Gail have other run into each other in L.A.? Gail's husband, Harold Ravins, is a dentist in Los Angeles. talk about a small world-it would be funny if you were his patient! i am not related to Barry Saperstein. my father's sister Ruth married Ben Saperstein
so the other Sapersteins are not my relatives. Is Barry still in Woodridge? i knew some of the Saperstein clan still live there. my husband told me that he did not really know one of the Slutsky brothers but had met him once, years ago, when my husband was doing a closing of a house for a client up in Greene County. he told me that the Slutsky family also owns Hunter Mountain, the Green County Bank, etc. He said the Slutsky that he met had a son that was an executive at that bank. i know that the Slutsky's are a large family-isn't Nevele-eleven (for 11 brothers) spelled backwards. What is your last name and your moms full name?
i speak with Gail from time to time and will mention all of this to her. i live in Brooklyn Heights, New York-just over the Brooklyn Bridge/one subway stop from the Wall Street stop in Manhattan. Have lived here since i married, almost 39 years ago. i grew up in New York City and went up to the mountains in the summertime.
