BF: Yeah, now, do you feel that you tried to pass on certain values or ideas to your, to your son and daughter?

AS: Well, I don't, if it was done, it was done more from seeing what I was doing and how I felt about things. So it was not in a kind of lecturing or even, "Let's sit down and talk about this." But just, yeah, so I think they just picked up on it.

BF: Living your life.

AS: Yeah.

BF: Now, you mentioned you attend a Reform temple now?

AS: Yes.

BF: What temple is that?

AS: It's called Temple De Hirsch Sinai.

BF: Oh, okay.

AS: Originally when it was first started, it was just Temple De -- well, it was another name before that, but for, Temple De Hirsch was the name that's, it's on... well, it was on Fifteenth Avenue between Union and Pike Street? Yeah, Union and Pike. Still is, but they enlarged it, in fact, it's the new section. And then they, there was a temple started in Bellevue, but the congregants couldn't afford to keep it going, they just didn't have enough. So Temple De Hirsch Sinai purchased it, so then they added the name Temple De Hirsch Sinai to it. So yeah, so that we now have a branch also in, in Bellevue.

BF: I see.
