philanthropic organizations as asocial worker and director of so-
cial programs. Unfortunately, a
series of strokes forced an earlyretirement from this wonderful
career. He is currently enjoying a
second career teaching shortcourse at Bergen Community
College. He is also preparing aseries of classes for RiverWalk
University.
The couple lived in New York
and Boston where Shirley gave
birth to three babies. They wereliving in St. Louis when baby
number four arrived. Eventually,
the family moved to Teaneck, NJ
where they lived for 37 years.
Their children have given themmany grandchildren over the
years. Michael, their oldest son,lives in Stratford and is in market-
ing. He is the father of two chil-
dren. Eric works for AmericanExpress and lives in Manhattan
with his three children. Their
daughter, Miriam, works in thePublic Health sector and lives in
Baltimore. She is the mother of
four children. Ruth, their young-est, is a professor of American
Cultural History and lives in
Brookline, MA. She is the mother
of three children.
Don and Shirley have an active
retirement, taking courses and
attending concerts and movies.We wish them good health and
many good years at RiverWalk.
A wonderful new couple recentlyjoined the RiverWalk family. Visit-
ing and talking to Shirley andDonald Feldstein was such a fun
experience for me.
Shirley was born in the Flatbush
section of Brooklyn, where her fa-
ther was the Rabbi of Talmud To-rah of Flatbush on Avenue J. She
grew up with one older brother and
two younger sisters. Shirley wentto school at the Yeshiva of Flat-
bush, Brooklyn College and Co-
lumbia School of Social Work. Hereducation led her to a fulfilling ca-
reer as a social worker and psycho
therapist. Shirley would go on towork as a social worker with
groups and senior citizens, doing
counseling and therapy.
Shirley was on line registeringfor a graduate course at Columbia
University when she met Donald.
They fell madly in love and were
married in 1954.
Donald was born in Yorkville,
NY. His father owned a shoe fac-tory and after the Depression he
became a custom peddler. Donald
grew up with one sister, Lorelle,who now lives in Israel. He at-
tended Elementary School PS 6,
Stuyvesant High School and
Hunter College. He also received aBA from City College and later a
Doctorate in Social Work from Co-
lumbia University.
