Roberta has always done a great job of staying in touch. Here's a letter she wrote to Grandma in February 1992 before going on a trip to Israel with Mom and Dad, Aunt Mary, and I'm not sure who all else. The background shows the Foundation for Senior Living stationary. Transcription of entire letter follows.
2/16/92 [Sunday]
Hi, Grandma,
This is actually a Valentine card [enclosed? not currently attached] that Sid got for me from the CATS – but I thought it was too cute to just throw away!
My suitcase finally got out – so the CATS are nervous! I leave Monday for New York City – that is where I'll meet Aunt Mary and the folks to leave for Israel. I'm happy I get to go and Aunt Mary has been looking forward to going! (Tho she doesn't know what she should take – clothes wise.) Uncle Bill didn't want to go so I'm glad she will go without him.
Sid will work for me while I'm gone – I wish I could stop and see you on my way back – but it is necessary for me to get home – to work – and for the CATS and my husband. Looks like I'll be able to come and see you in APRIL – that should be warmer then – but I'll still need to borrow your COAT/ I'm borrowing someones COAT to go to Israel. The average temperature in February is 45° – Aunt Mary and I both will be COLD!
I'll get you and Sadie something in Jerusalem or Bethlehem. Will send you some postcards too Grandma!
Remember – I'm the one that is supposed to be on a diet ≠ not you! Hope you are eating enough.
Love, Roberta, Sid and CATS
