Mom Never Realized Her Dream to Have Her Own Drug Store
Upon graduation she expected to receive the financing from her mother, my Grandma Yidis, but it wasn't forthcoming. She did work in the laboratory of Schieffelin & Company in Manhattan where she met Harold Nolan, a graduate in manufacturing chemistry from Pratt Institute, and they got married on Sept. 5, 1931 at Brooklyn Borough Hall. At the time, her parents were already divorced and mom was living with Grandpa Beryl, a baker and union organizer, in Jersey City.
