1. General Leon Dicker (d. 1992) [He was a retired Brigadier General, who had been at Normandy. A sweet man, he and his wife were involved with the Tennis world and frequently could get tickets to matches. General Dicker was a "reader" for my co-worker Dawn, helping her with her case load (as she was blind), and would bring her cookies when he came (anyone could share the cookies). He was a decent and nice man. Once I asked him how he felt about being a General. I liked his simple reply: "It doesn't mean a thing. We put on our pants like you do, one leg at a time."] 2. Dr. Norton Luger (d. 2007) who was originally the doctor treating my father, but became the family physician until his retirement in the early 1990s. Dr. Luger treated me at Cornell Medical Center in 1991 for a cardiac infarction. He did a medical column in the "National Enquirer" for a number of years. The Doctor was President of the Queens Medical Society. At one time he was a friend of historian/writer Barbara Tuchman.
