I just read Philip Roth's wonderful tribute to your dad in the Sunday NY Times. I have fond memories of both your parents from growing up. I'm glad I had a chance to see him at my uncle Jesse's memorial service. Thinking of you.

Bob was a hero to the entire membership of the Newark Teachers Union and especially to the Posner/Spiegel family during the very difficult McCarthy years.

Dr. Lowenstein was a legend at Weequahic High School. I attended between 1955 and 1958 and was not fortunate enough to have him as a teacher.

Although I never met him, he was a revered and respected part of my upbringing and education in Newark. I knew his son, "Jimmy" at Weequahic. My condolences.
