Between visits today (Janet for a walk in Stern Grove, Vicky for lunch, seeing Bill and Vilma on Divisadero) I watched snatches of The American Musical Theatre: A Jewish Legacy. One snatch said that service men were given free tickets to Oklahoma, and that made me wonder whether that's how Mom and Daddy happened to see it. (I've already talked about how ecstatic she was.) Daddy didn't like spending money even when he had it, and that may have been during the years when Mom was staying in NYC with a really nice Jewish woman who'd pass Daddy money so he could take Mom out when he was on leave. (Her daughter objected to this, thinking that her mother should be getting money from the tenant, not giving it away.) But one of my warmest memories of Daddy pertains to his taking Suzy, Missy and me, in 1969 after their divorce, to see both Cabaret and Man of La Mancha. More about that tomorrow.
But on the subject of the Jewish Legacy, Mom sort of wanted to be Jewish, so maybe she (an adoptee) was.
