Although we are both from Beth El in Highland Park, we didn’t get to know each other until we were both on staff in the Northwoods.  I was a JC in Bogrim, and Brad was a counselor in Nivonim. Our first date was at the Vilas County Cinema, a triple date with two other couples who also eventually married, Michael and Sheila Small and Danny and Becky (Nathan) Blumenthal.
