I was so sorry to hear of Mrs. Orenstein's passing. I remember Steve & I would be 7 or 8 years old & we'd be trading baseball cards or just playing as kids do, and she'd show up in the doorway announcing snacks were ready in the kitchen, always smiling & welcoming. Truly a kind hearted woman & a treasured memory of my childhood.
