About Me
- Winefred
- I broke into the blogosphere in 2003, via a letter to andrew sullivan (made me a minor celebrity in my family for a week) Call it my bio: My grandfather came to the US from Greece around 1905, alone, age 10, sailing into New York Harbor and entering at Ellis Island, like the young Vito Corleone in The Godfather. Before settling down he spent a couple of his teen-age years "hobo-ing" around the country. He insisted to me that a hobo is not a bum. He looks for honest work to earn his food and a place to sleep - he is NOT looking for a hand-out... When you (Sullivan) used the word "hobo" to describe Saddam Hussein in his spider hole, I thought "Saddam should be so lucky as to be a hobo--he could wish for so much dignity." My grandfather finished third grade, and spent his life as a railroad mechanic. He raised four sons, three of them old enough for WWII. The four earned two M.A.'s and two Ph.D.'s, and produced 15 accomplished grandchildren. Among the many great-grandchildren are two Naval officers and a Marine Corps Captain...the legacy of a hobo. Saddam, master of the palaces and father of the lion-cubs, is just a bum.

thank you for this tribute to my uncle Jack Aron. Today is Sept. 11th, 2006 the 5 year anniversary of the devastating day that took my uncle's life and as i woke up this morning to the multitude of tributes on cnn, cspan, and mostly every channel; i thought i would "google" my uncle's name to see if any tributes have been put on the internet (something i havent done until today since his death). I was surprised to find not just one but many tribute sites where people left comments about uncle jack and reading them i felt a sense of pride and sadness, for the fact that i was so blessed to have known uncle jack for 18 years, but so sad to have lost him. Anyways, i stumbled upon your tribute to him, and i would just like to THANK YOU for writing about him. B/c in situations like 9/11, where one tries desperately to move on with life, one can easily forget what one lost. Thank you for paying just tribute to my uncle. Though my auntie yem and her son my cousin tim, probably will never read your blog (b/c it would just hurt too much)i speak for them when i say thank you again, for keeping my uncle's memory alive. if ever you wanted more information on my uncle or how his family is holding up, please email me ********.com
