One decision Wendy made has been especially good for the family, particularly for her brother, Stephen. Wendy hired seventeen year old Diane Rubin, a beautiful young girl. Diane became Stephen’s wife and Wendy and Diane are now like sisters and the best of friends. Wendy’s personality also matches up with her husband’s. Max is a serious guy who takes his responsibilities seriously. Wendy takes her responsibilities just as seriously but with a much lighter style. They make a great team as husband and wife, as parents, and in business. My life today revolves around Wendy. I told you earlier how we made our Bat Mitz- vah together. We shop together like profes- sionals. We have reached a time in our lives when we can both enjoy each other to the fullest. I love her and I am very proud of my daughter.

DO NOT DATE EMPLOYEES One day a rabbi came to our business to get a beeper. Stephen took him aside and said, “Do you see that young lady with the long, blond curly hair?” The rabbi looked and saw Diane Rubin working as our reception- ist. Wendy had hired her. Stephen told the rabbi, “That’s the girl I’m going to marry.” Diane was all of seventeen and Stephen had not even taken her out on one date at the time. In fact Herman had always told our kids not to date people from the business. It just wasn’t a good idea. The boys did anyway we found out later. But Stephen knew what he was about. He did marry Diane and they have four beautiful children.
