Reply #52: OMG....what a wonderful story....and so much like my grandfather. [View All]

[Hepburn]

He had a 4th grade education and from reading different versions of the Bible, taught himself English. He also spoke enough German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, French and Hungarian to get along as well as speaking Yiddish. He walked across Europe from Romanian to get to the boat docks in France to earn enough money to pay for steerage to the USA. He made himself into a multi-millionaire in the 1920s. He was brilliant and eloquent and during the Great Depression, he had a ton of money and he voluntarily fed, clothed and housed people who were in trouble.

I can totally identify with your wonderful grandfather ~~ I had one very much like him!
