This is an amazing story. I shared it with my life-long friend (our fathers were high school best friends in the Bronx in the 1930's). Sandy was brought up (with no religious practice) in California, married a man from Holland and has lived there since 1968, bringing up her two children and now helping to nurture their six grandchildren. She would like to be in touch with you Andrea. What is the best way to connect you guys?
