Mr. Mamantov. That's correct.
Mr. Belin. Before coming to Texas, did you do anything in Europe other than teach? Any occupation other than teaching when you were in Europe?
Mrs. Gravitis. Before we left Latvia, you mean?
Mr. Belin. Yes.
Mrs. Gravitis. I was a housewife also. No other profession.
Mr. Belin. Since coming to America, what has been your occupation?
Mrs. Gravitis. In New York I was part-time janitor together with Mr. Mamantov, on Broadway somewhere. Was cleaning the sidewalks and heating the furnace. The people helped me, the neighbors helped me to clean the sidewalks.
I was raising the grandchildren, and by that time we had three. One was born in Germany. Then after that I sewed and taught Russian, individual students.
Mr. Belin. This is generally what you have done then since coming to Texas, is private tutoring?
Mrs. Gravitis. And sewing. The sewing is the main point, but tutoring on and off, because it is not enough students.
