My Whole World Before I

Women Are Beginning To Lose Their Identity. They Have Jumped With Teeth Clenched, Fists Braced And Eyes Aglow, Into The Competitive Man's World. They're Losing The Vibrant Quality Of Femininity, The Aura Of Mystery.

My Parents Were Hungarian Immigrants; My Father Was A Tailor And We Lived In The Back Of A Tailor Store. And That Was My First Inkling Of What It Was Like To Be Raised In America. It Had A Profound Effect On Me - I Saw Different People Coming In All The Time With Different Attitudes And I Liked It. And As I Grew Older, I Found That I Was Able To Use Something Inside Of Me To Get Some Sympathy If I Wanted It. I Used To Shine Shoes, And I Would Use A Waif-like Look. I'd Get A Dime And I'd Be As Happy As Could Be.

I Feel Strongly That We, All Of Us, Are Brothers And Sisters, And Nothing Interferes With That Except Our Education, Our Background, Where We Grew Up And How We Should Do It. If You Eliminated All Those Negatives And Gave Us An Open View Of What Life Would Be Like, It Would Be Different.

My Life Is Very Full; My Wife Makes It So. I'm 82 Years Old And I'm Having The Best Time I've Ever Had In My Life. I Want To Share That With All Of You. Find A Way To Do That, Find A Way To Be At Peace With Yourself, To Enjoy The Little Things In Life. Make Them Your Own.

They Gave Me Away As A Prize Once - A Win Tony Curtis For A Weekend Competition. The Woman Who Won Was Disappointed. She'd Hoped For Second Prize - A New Stove.
