I am interested in obtaining information about my mother and father's lives in Ridgewood, Queens and their experiences at Newtown High School (1925-29) and my mother's experiences at Hunter College (1929-33). I am writing a memoir of their parents, who emigrated to New York City from what is now Belarus (city of Slonim) in 1904 and who opened a laundry first on the lower east side and then in Ridgewood--The White Star Laundry--around 1921.
