I
lived 2 doors away and went the very Shabbat with my Zayda until age 8 when he
died. I was allowed to sit with him downstairs in the Mens Sec except for high
holidays when I had to sit upstairs with other ladies.

It
had to be replaced. I hate it!
We
got sent home from NJY camp Milford PA. Neighbors had high-water marks on their
garages.
All
the dads filled sandbags to pile at the end of the street to hold crack the
water. Fortunately, the construction of the East West Highway held back the
flood waters.
I
remember the 55 flood I was nine years old. My father took me look at the

I was in Trenton staying with my Aunt Lillian and Uncle Sam Kaplow during the '55 flood. My uncle owned a luncheonette/candy store/ice cream parlor in Yardley, PA on Main and Afton. I was at the store when the Trenton-Yardley Bridge was swept away by the flooding river. We fed many people that had flooded homes by the river. Hamburgers, sandwiches, coffee and such, all at no charge. I was told the Red Cross had set up a distribution point on Afton and was charging for food. My big job was to wash out empty soda syrup gallon jugs and filling them with fresh water as the water in the store had not been flooded. We would load them in my Uncle's car and distribute them to the homes as the homes were being cleaned. We would pick up the empties, wash them again, refill them, and once again, bring them back to the flooded homes.
