This was so beautiful. It referred to many generations and in doing so shows me a lot about you. Your love of people, humor, wisdom, yada yada. You are special in many ways. To your beautiful Bunnie I say “mazel tov, you raised a mensch”.
Beautiful story. I'm confused by the part about teaching your Mom to swim though; I seem to remember from The Mathematics of Change that you were the one that needed swimming lessons (at Princeton)?
Well, especially as I come from a family of super-talented teachers, I generally hate the expression “Those who can’t do, teach” -- but this is one case where it’s accurate! Though I _could_ at least hold my head under the water!

Keep going. We want to hear the whole story.

I can't swim either, for the record :-)

Yet another of your touching stories of real life. Thanks.
