I have been away from Denver for over 25 years and have not kept up with things so much.
So it never occurred to me that Mrs. Waldbaum would still be around. She was in her 70s when I left.
What a remarkable woman she was!
There are just a few people you meet in your lifetime who live life to its fullest. Where everything they do, everything they say--is forever memorable.
Hence I remember all my wonderful times with her and Hy.
Their home was such a special place.
They were not reclusive folks, they were very much part of the world.
But--their home was always Jewish to the maximum. The great food, the holidays, the wonderful conversations.
Most of us have to take one or the other these days. Ann and Hy are still models for me of what a full Jewish life should be.
I guess the one thing I'll always remember is Hy's broad grin whenever I came to their home for lunch--"Ask Rabbi Goldberger about my wife's cholent!!" Indeed, I've never tasted better. I got her recipe, but she still added something unique that I lacked.
She once told me of a friend of her son's, who admitted in later in life that he didn't really like Hebrew school and that he didn't get much out of it. But it was still OK--before he went to school, he always came over to Ann's for her cookies. That's what he never forgot, and that's what kept him Jewish!
May all the Waldbaum family and the HEA community be comforted among the mourners for Zion and Jerusalem on the loss of a real eshes chayil.
