[Cz-L] RE: czernowitz-l digest: January 05, 2011

Hardy, you are hitting all the nails directly on the head when you say our yearning is for our life in our youth (which happened to have been in Cz) And that you can provide a list of a 100 towns nicer than Cz. I told one of our members once who would have been much too young by the time she left our town to have much of a sense of it, "You have fallen in love with the image of a town that never existed."

I am reminded of Milt Kamen, a wonderful comedian I saw in the 1950s. He told a little story of his love affair with New York and he quickly made sure we understood, "Not the people." And then he descried a little brownstone building that stood straight and stone faced in the daytime but would come to life at night, with windows winking at him, etc. In my case, it's the opposite. I've seen and lived in far more attractive towns with better architecture. It is not Czernowitz but the Czernowitzers of the 1930s that I miss.

Andy Halmay,
