FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1989
Wheels Turn Slowly
For Military Medal
DANNY RASKIN
Local Columnist
I
n August, 1945, Private
Bernie (Bela) Schlesinger,
now a local jeweler, sat
eating goulash in a
Hungarian cottage to which
he had been invited . . .
Hiding in the cottage was a
Hungarian general, whom
Bernie captured along with
his 100 forest-hidden men .. .
Friend Karl Berg says they
probably preferred surrender-
ing to the Americans instead
of the oncoming Russians.
Seventeen years later, in
1962, the U.S. government
decided to give Bernie a
bronze star . . . Then another
27 years more, April, 1989, he
finally received a certificate
for the medal.
Karl, here with wife Mollie,
both live in Coronado, Calif.,
where they moved eight years
ago . . . He turned 76 March
15, had a triple bypass, wears
a pacemaker and plays tennis
daily, plus swimming and
surfing every day.
No, Bernie still doesn't have
the Bronze Star . . . May get
it in about another six or
seven months . . . or so he is
told.
GET WELL wishes . . . to
Lee Gurwin . . . on her recent
operation . . . to Leo Kaplan
. . . recuperating at home
after his operation . . . and to
Lou Golden.

MAIL DEPT. ... "Our
brother and brother-in-law,
91-year-old Marshall Abrams,
is in the Arnold Nursing
Home and has been for the
past year. During that time
and for many years before, the
wonderful and caring ladies
of the Temple Beth El
Sisterhood with the able
assistance of Rabbi Cook have
given of their time and money
to put on a beautiful Passover
service and a great
Chanukah party for the
Jewish residents and others
who care to come and share in
the celebrations. We feel very
strongly that these kind
deeds should not go unnotic-
ed by our community.
"Also, the Arnold Home is
in dire need of a billiard table
for the retired residents. They
will surely put it to good use
and brighten their days. If
anyone has a table not being
used and would like to donate,
please contact Mary Carbello
at the home, 531-4001."
