Mr. Griffin. How did your father feel towards the children?
Mr. Rubenstein. I can’t find the word for it but it wasn’t like—wasn’t—he loved the children but I believe since he didn’t have to have an education he felt that grammar school was good enough for all of us, and that is what we should have done. But my mother felt differently. She realized that you have got to have an education to progress, and maybe that is why we all felt more for our mother than we did for our father as a parent.
Mr. Griffin. Your father ultimately came back and lived with you?
Mr. Rubenstein. After my mother died.
Mr. Griffin. Not before?
Mr. Rubenstein. I don’t remember.
Mr. Griffin. Of all of the children in the family, who do you think is the one who has paid the most attention to this early family life and would have the most information to contribute on it?
Mr. Rubenstein. I imagine Eva. Eva is a pretty smart woman. She could, she was at home most of the time and I think she could, tell more about the family than any of us. She has a very good memory, too, by the way, which is important.
Mr. Griffin. How close were you to Jack as he was growing up?
Mr. Rubenstein. I wasn’t home much. I told you. You have got the history of my life here. I wasn’t home much. I am about 10 years older than Jack so when he was 15, I was already 25. I was working and traveling on the road, and whatever he was doing as long as he didn’t get into any serious trouble I felt it is OK.
