Faye R. Goldman

DATELINE: WARWICK Goldman, Faye R. I was born January 16, 1937 in South Providence to Bessie and William Tebrow. We probably were poorer than the church mice at St. Michaels (but who knew) which was part and parcel of my childhood playground. We all shared the same balance sheet, the Italians, Irish, Polish, Afro Americans, Jews, and of course many more races and religions that lived within this marvelous melting pot of Americana. My late brother Melvin who was five years older joined the army after high school, married, and went into the food business in New York and San Diego, died April 25, 2004. My sister, Arlene Chorney, became quite successful in the field of academia and became a Ph.D. I took business courses at Hope which turned out to be my saving grace...
