This is a wonderful, wonderful bio of Laura Margolis Jarblum, whose photo sits on my desk at work (wathcing me right now, in fact!), as I consider her a second mother. Just wanted you to know that Laura returned to the U.S. in 1983-4, which was at least 10 years after her retirement. The way her bio is written it sounds like she returned to the U.S. right after her husband died and she retired. She lived a productive, enjoyable life in Tel Aviv after retirement for the better part of a decade. It was very, very hard for her to leave, but she really did want to be close to her aging brother, his wife and children. (She never had children of her own, though she did have a stepdaughter living in France.)
