You'd et<p«1 that sort of praise for Martin becau5oe s~ lov'-'S children and ha.s 30 years experimce as

As a child, Martin had polio, whkh left her right leg permanently Wl'akmcd. Martin developed pwt~polio
syndrome when she wu in her 70s, which tumed caring for her own home and yard into a ch.:>re greater than she
could handl~. So, In 1992. Martin ffiO\'ed into an o~partmcnt m her grandcbughk'r's basement. AU &ee:ml'd well

no children to whom they might tum. 1here was talk that Frank had only a couple of months to live and of getting

Frank was horribly stricken with ~in. Late one night, the pain crippling him. Frank fell. He was taken to
Memorial Miselon Hospital where they discovered that a stress fracture in his left hip had been the cause of his
pain And operated to repair it. Three d ays later, Or. Jeffrey Tait, his p hysician, recommended he be sent to the
Skilled N unlng Facility oflbe Summit whtTc he could get CAre and t.llC!Tapy.
Grace, mt"anwhile, began to do well enough to be released to The Summit herself and, about a week after
Frank"&arrival, moved into the Assisted U vin.g section there. She loved her surroundings and she was pleased to
be. able l..t spend her time wilh Frank when he wasn't having his daily phystcal therapy sessions. 1he
comprehensive approach to care at The Sum.mJt was a big relief to Gmce
wh ile she was still battling for her own health. ln this nurturing setting. '.hey
each made great strides. "'The Summit d id it. We both came out beau tifully. It

Adjusting to life at Ashewood Mar\Of" was made a littJe easieT fo r
Finkelstein who has been provided an opportunity to remain active with his
music by entertaining the ra.idenb at various functions. A native of
Asheville, F'mkelstein's father Hany (whose Jewish llt'ICeStors hailed from
Pushalot in the state of Uthuania in the Soviet Union) opened Finkelstein's
Pawn Shop ln 1903, two years befo1~ his birth. 1l\e pawn shop business was
different bad:. then, he said. His father, he said, believed in giving
entrepreneurs a chance to get started by loaning them small amounts of
c.uh... "We made ' moral' loans. Once my father loaned $5 to a man who
bought an outdoor stove and roa..o;ted ctw>stnuts to ~11. That RQn eventually
opened his own rfttaurant.'"
Finkelstein carried his lv..-en sense of business and his sense ofhwnor
with him as he went off to fight for his country in World War D. St.1tioned in
the South racific in tile US. Army Air Corp, he served from 1~ to 1945.
While serving hi5 country, he entertained people back home with his
enlightening correspondence ("This place is so far from civilization that one
gets awful lonely at times. ln fact, one soldier got so lonesome that he got
rried on the tclephone last night") and poetry ("Here I am an enli.sted

Delmas noted that while both Thoms Md Mi!sic.m St. Joseph 's continue to provide primary

At home now in this '"charming"' city, the Knutelskys have returned to the fuU life they had pre\'iously
enjoyed, participating in activities in thelr condominium complex and their church, and sociali%ing with
friends. Both Gract" and Frank agree that it's good to be h~

Sanctimonious Seven (due to addition of a member and so the group could play

Dear Leo:
On October 24, 1968, I received the conunission a.s United
States Marshal for the Western District of North Carolina.
As you know, the commission follows confirmation by the
Senate after nomination by the President.
I must say that even though I am happy to have been nominated and confirmed, I feel most humble because of the
expressions that have come from friends such as you. I
particularly thank you for writing to the Senators in my
behalf - for this, I am truly grateful.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
With every good wish and kindest personal regards.
