The 90th Anniversary of the Israel Cantor Family Society was held at Kutsher’s Country Club, in Monticello, New York on June 27 to June 29, 2003.
Over eighty family members attended from all over the United States. There were relatives who have newly joined the Society, including Boris, Mikhail, and Sophia, all who have immigrated from Belarussia. Their presence reminds us all of Israel Cantor’s momentous journey almost a century ago.
There was a softball game (we won), a volleyball game (we won, again), a living family tree, letters of congratulations from President George W. Bush and Governor George Pataki, bad jokes at the nightclub, watered-down drinks, a giant group portrait, and huge quantities of mediocre food.
“I know that the original founders had to smile that weekend. In their wildest dreams, they could not have anticipated what they created.”
— Irwin A. (Sonny) Cantor
While the wonderful 90th celebration is over, the memories linger on! I learned alot about my grandmother, Rosa, and finally fell connected to her…she is now more than just a name.
— Janet Pearlman Fisher
The Society thanks Barbara Greene for her hard work in putting the weekend together and to making it a success.
