My grandparents owned Rubel's Mansion in South Fallsburg, which became Gilbert's. My parents met at a Catskill Hotel. My father was a chef who worked in the hotels during the summer, and I was a waiter and busboy from 1960 through 1969. My novel, "He Lost it in the Catskills," has just been published. I worked at the Irvington, Pauls, the Karmel, and Spring Lake in Parksville.
