I remember that Boris Gertz was a very handsome man married to a beautiful woman! He worked as a psychologist at the South Carolina State Hospital, where my father also worked. I started baby-sitting for daughter Jeri when she was a baby and I was ten-years-old, and then for her and Mike. Boris picked me up almost every Friday evening to baby-sit while he and Eileen went to services at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Columbia, South Carolina. One of my first memories of him was of his playing drums--I thought bongo drums--while Eileen danced around the table. I was sorry when this lovely family moved away--to Massachusetts--but at least they waited until I as old enough to date on Friday nights!
