A Note to the Granddaughters

I look forward to the day when the granddaughters are old enough to enjoy their summers independently, either with summer jobs or traveling. Both are equally important. I am reminded of that while reading Sylvia Nasar's Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius. On page 364,

The son of blue-collar Hungarian Jewish immigrants who settled in Brooklyn in the 1890s, Milton Friedman was born just before World War I. He grew up over his parents' store on Main Street in Rahway, a gritty New Jersy factory townon the railway line between New York and Philadelphia.

In the summer of 1971, I spent the summer working in Union County, Westfield, to be more specific, a bedroom community-suburb for New York City commuters. I was living and with three midwesterners. One of the three was working in Rahway. That was the first and only time Rahway was a "part of my life." But having been there for a summer, it helps bring to life Sylvia's book on an otherwise very dry subject. I now have a better knowledge of Milton Friedman, just knowing that little bit of trivia.
