Asked about life-long passions, Naomi

Wittenberg gives what some would consider a

conventional response for a woman. “My

husband,” she answered, speaking of Simeon

“Sim” Wittenberg, the man with whom she

traded insults on first meeting and later shared

62 years of marriage together.

However, Naomi is far from a conventional

woman, whatever that is. A self-declared

feminist schooled at Boston University, she and

her husband were equal in all their endeavors.

Deep love, enduring partnerships and the

resourceful s t rength of the immigrant

experience are her family heritage, so it’s not

surprising to find all these qualities in her

description of her own married life. Naomi

says Sim, now seven years gone, was a

stimulating companion and her one passion to

the end. Her eyes say he still is.

Partners in parenting, they raised two smart,

strong daughters in Syosset, Long Island in

New York. They were very involved in their

community, and the schooling of their

daughters. For many years, Sim was the

President of the Central School District #2 and

Naomi was a leader in the New York State

PTA.

They were business partners as well throughout

those years building Wit-Craft Electric

Corporation from the ground up. Sim was the

technical lead while Naomi led the business

side, yet they taught each other all they knew

and built Wit-Craft as a team. Naomi

understood the business inside and out and

became quite comfortable in the world of

electrical systems, motors and controls. Her

no-nonsense confidence earned respect and the

business of men who were at first ready to

discount this woman in a man’s role.

After 35 years they sold the business so they

could travel the world, which they did for

another 20 years. One glance around Naomi’s

East Garden home is a tour of many cultures

and includes a collection of original art by

Naomi Wittenberg: Enduring Passions and Partnerships

December 2013 Harbor Light Page 2

Bjǿrn Wiinblad, a renowned Danish designer

and artist in ceramics, silver, bronze, textiles,

and graphics. She confesses that as an ardent

Fund Shop shopper, she’s picked up many other

treasures of which she is fond.

When Sim and Naomi moved to Sarasota in

1998, they found another world in which they

could indulge a shared passion—theatre.

Sarasota’s rich theatre culture afforded them the

opportunity to both support this favorite art

form, as well as participate. As members of the

Asolo (Rep) Theatre Guild, they were

instrumental in the activities of the Guild Play

Readers group.

“Sim loved acting. He was a ham, and I was

organized,” said Naomi. “We presented

readings throughout the community to promote

the Asolo, and,” she emphasized, “most

importantly, to raise funds making it possible

for public school students to attend live,

professional theatre performances.”

Children, business, travel and now, theatre, had

become the focus of their intensely involved

lives together. They moved into Plymouth

Harbor together in August of 2006 only to be

shocked shortly thereafter with news that Sim

was gravely ill. January 2007 found Naomi

broken hearted. The couple had looked forward

to joining the Plymouth Harbor Players, but she

was not ready to take the stage alone. One year

later it was a different story.

By the 2008-2009 theatre season, Naomi

stepped in to adapt, produce and direct “The

Cynthia Caper,” an early script by Howard

Buermann, the resident who had written 19 of

Naomi Wittenberg Continued

the 28 original plays performed annually by the

troupe over the years.

The indomitable Naomi continues to follow this

passion, now entering her seventh season with

the Plymouth Harbor Players as the producer

that pulls everything together. Her partners in

theatre crime are now Peg and Don Wallace

and they have great plans for this year’s

production.

“The Stash on the 17th Floor,” another script by

Don Wallace, includes multi-media surprises.

There will be no formal auditions this year, but

rather residents are invited to gather on

Tuesday, December 10 and Wednesday,

December 11 from 2 to 4 pm in the Mezzanine

conference room where there will be informal

readings of the play and a discussion of all the

roles, on-stage and off-stage, available. This

means the readings are not just for actors, but

also for anyone wanting to serve backstage with

props, lighting, prompting, costumes, or any

other supporting crew role.

The performances will be at 8 pm on Tuesday,

February 25, and at 2 and 8 pm on Wednesday,

February 26.

Producing the Plymouth Harbor plays is a lot of

hard work, but Naomi probably enjoys that

collaborative effort as much as the audience

enjoys the result. It’s clear that she’s not one to

do anything half-heartedly. Committed and

passionate about her family—daughters,

granddaughters, and great-grandchildren—as

well as political and community matters, Naomi

knows what is important in her life.

- Gayle Williams

In Hollywood, California, there is a 1.5 mile stretch of sidewalk known as the Walk of Fame;

Grauman’s Chinese Theatre is located on this same walkway. The forecourt of the theatre contains over 200 hand and foot prints of celebrities and on the

walkway, as of July 10, 2012, there were 2473 bronze stars representing stars of movies, television and other entertainment venues. Who makes it to the Walk of Fame? Two million+ tourists visit each year. To be chosen for a star there is a committee that offers the opportunity for a star installation—for a donation of $30,000.

The legend of the Magi visiting the Christ Child twelve days after his birth has inspired carols and pageants for centuries. But I wonder what significance we would give this legend if they had gotten lost along the way and never reached the manger. What difference would it make if it were not included in the nativity stories? Without benefit of a map or GPS, they did what most of us are reluctant to do when we are lost; they stopped and asked for directions. They had “observed his star,” or as the familiar carol says, they were “following yonder star”.

Life is a journey that unfolds by way of many paths. Most of us would not admit to being lost, needing directions, yet all of us look for a star to follow. Choosing the right star is a challenge. The Magi found a baby in a manger, a baby who grew up to be called the Savior of all humankind. He became a star unlike any star honored on the Walk of Fame, yet we often give them more loyalty than the one we know as the Prince of Peace.


Spiritual Reflections By Chaplain Jerry O’Connor

As we move through the Advent/Christmas Season, may we never lose sight of the star that doesn’t require a $30K donation, the star that will lead us, if we are willing to follow. Millions have seen the star in the East, but too often have followed the wrong star and remain lost. Which star have you chosen, the star honored in bronze, or the star that leads to peace, justice and love for all?

Merry Christmas

Happy Hanukkah

Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of rededication, also known as the festival of lights, is an eight day festival beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. It is one of the best

known Jewish holidays, not because of its proximity to Christmas. Many non-Jews (and even many assimilated Jews) think of this holiday as the Jewish Christmas. This year, Hanukkah began on November 27. The Menorah has been placed in MacNeil Chapel. Each day another light will shine until all eight lights are burning, symbolizing the miracle of the oil found at the rededication of the Temple. Only enough for one day was found, but it lasted for eight days. Thus, the festival of Hanukkah was established. Our observance will be on Monday, December 2, at 4:00 p.m. in the Card Room. We will share the story, light the candles, eat latkes, sing songs and play the Dreidel Game. All are welcome to attend.


Welcome New Friends Carolyn Albrecht

Residency Began: September 30, 2013 Apartment N-211 Extension 178

- Isabel Pedersen

Someone may have moved

into Plymouth Harbor

knowing more people here

than Carolyn Albrecht does-

but I doubt it.

When Carolyn talks about

her bridge groups, some of

our residents are members.

Her mah jong games were at

Plymouth Harbor. She

played golf with some of us,

she worked with others of us

at the Longboat Key Library,

still others at the old Pelican

Man Bird Sanctuary. Only at the Cat Depot

were there few human friends. Her task,

socializing nasty cats so they could be

adopted, was a truly solitary pursuit.

Carolyn was born in St. Louis, moved on to

Mt. Vernon, New York, and then Plymouth,

Massachusetts where she went to high

school. After graduating from Colby

College in Maine, she, along with most of

our age group, found a secretarial job, at

Merrill Lynch. That would have worked out

better if she had ever really learned to type.

So, surprise, she got bumped to the

Personnel Department.

Other jobs where her so-so typing skills

were utilized included working for a PR

firm during Sen. Irving

Ives’ campaign for

governor of New York,

for the Imperial

C o m m o d i t i e s

Corporation in New

York and the Overlook

Hospital in Summit,

New Jersey.

After marriage to Phil

Albrecht, a research

analyst on Wall Street,

she lived in Westfield,

New Jersey for 30 years

while they raised two sons and a daughter.

These, in turn, produced seven

grandchildren.

Longboat Key was the Albrecht choice

when they moved to Florida. For 29 years,

they lived in condos among friends who

now, no surprise, live at Plymouth Harbor.

Carolyn stayed at the Players Club after she

lost her husband, in 2006. That is, she

stayed until she decided to join dozens of

her friends at Plymouth Harbor. Now,

except when she is at her summer home in

the Poconos, she is here where she is adding

new friends to her huge list.


Welcome New Friends Helen Kelly

Residency Began: October 1, 2013 Apartment T-414 Extension 432

Give a hearty welcome to

delightful, talented Helen

Kelly who joined us in

October! Many of us knew

her from her very active

par ticipat ion in many

community organizations.

Born in Manhattan, Helen

attended Cathedral High

School. She graduated with a

B.S. from Mt. St. Vincent

College in Riverdale; her

ma j o r w a s Bu s i n e s s

Administration.

Her career began as an Advertising Agency

Account Executive at J. Walter Thompson and

Abbott Kimball. She later became the Fashion

Advertising Director at the New Yorker

Magazine. (This is where she met Jane Smiley

who later introduced her to Sarasota and, much

later, to Plymouth Harbor.)

Helen married John Love Kelly in 1952; living in

Cortland Manor, N.Y., they raised two children,

Janet and J. Scott. Their four grandchildren are

scattered around the country. Helen enjoys

following the exploits of her son who lives in Salt

Lake City and is an avid triathlon participant.

When they retired from the advertising world,

Helen and John moved to Siesta Key where they

lived for eleven happy years. After her husband’s

death in 2004, Helen moved to a beautiful ‘tree

house’ in the Landings.

Helen’s community service

record is spectacular. At the

Women’s Resource Center she

has been a board member,

n ew s l e t t e r e d i t o r a n d

Scholarship committee co-chair.

A former board member of the

Sarasota Orchestra Association,

Helen was the editor of their

newsletter. She worked on the

Selby Library Reading Festival.

As a former member of the

Mission Valley Golf Club, she

was on the staff of their Valley

Views newsletter.

Helen now attends classes at the USF Lifetime

Learning program, studying ‘Great Books’ and

Creative Writing; her memoirs are the current

writing project. She is interested in the theatre

and subscribes to the Asolo and Florida Studio

Theatres. She also enjoys the Town Hall lecture

series.

While she has many happy memories to look

back on, she remembers, with special fondness, a

‘home exchange’ with a family from

Montremont, France (near Lyon). Welcomed

there by the family and friends of the exchange

couple, it was a memorable month.

An active, dynamic woman with an infectious

smile, we look forward to Helen Kelly’s

involvement in Plymouth Harbor!

- Ila Preti

Huisking. Her son Charlie Huisking is a current

and committed friend and supporter of Plymouth

Harbor, and he shared with us that his mother and

sister were both artists and supporters of the arts.

Charlie was delighted to designate his gift to the

Wellness Center, and place his family’s name on

the Art Studio, essentially declaring our capital

campaign successfully funded.

Our sincerest thanks to the more than 30 donors

who saw in this new Wellness initiative an

opportunity to make Plymouth Harbor the best it

can be! We are grateful for your shared vision and

support.


A Spirit of Philanthropy

Success Achieved for the Wellness Center Campaign

by Becky Pazkowski

Starrs Support Dance Bands Many thanks to Phil and Barry Starr who have made a generous gift of $2000 to support the cost of a dance band for each of the scheduled dances involving the portable dance floor. Upcoming dances include:

Valentine’s Day Ball February 14 (Friday)

Prom Dance or May Day Ball May 4 (Sunday afternoon)

Salute to Hollywood Dance August 23 (Saturday)

New Year’s Eve Dance December 31 (Tuesday)

We are very pleased to announce that the capital

campaign for the Wellness Center Renovation

project has been completed, with a total of

$1,006,000 in support! As you know, in an effort

to revamp the Wellness Center, we had quietly

gone to the heaviest users of the current facility, to

those who had a unique vision for what the

Wellness Center could be, and to the greater

community for support. Through those efforts we

successfully raised over $906,000 towards the

project. This led us to look into funds donated

previously, that were “pending designation” by

generous and grateful families. The Huisking

family was one of those, with a gift of $100,000

that had been made in memory of Mrs. Pat

In each of the last few years, our government has made it possible for individuals to make a gift directly from their IRA to a charity without having to pay federal income tax on the distribution. This year is included. The way it works is if you are 70 1/2 or older, you may roll over up to $100,000 from your IRA to a charity or charities of your choice. The check must be moved directly from your IRA account to the charity, not to you personally. The amount you roll over is, therefore, not included in your income for federal tax calculations. If you are interested in making a gift of this type, let your financial consultant know about it, or contact our Foundation office for more information.

Government Allows IRA Charitable Rollover


A Spirit of Philanthropy

National Philanthropy Day National Philanthropy Day is celebrated across the country on November 15 in a variety of ways. This year, The Plymouth Harbor Foundation chose two separate occasions to thank the many recent and historical donors for their generosity. The first was the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ (AFP) 28th annual event at Michael’s on East, where over 500 people gathered to celebrate the philanthropists in the county who give of themselves and their treasures to make our county the best it can be. This year, the Foundation sponsored a table to recognize our resident

Joanne Hastings and her gift to the Foundation to support the Wellness Center Renovation. Mrs. Hastings was among a small group of seven nominated for the Outstanding Individual Philanthropist. The second was our first Spirit of Philanthropy Celebration on November 14, where over 175 guests came together to help celebrate the impact philanthropy has had on life at Plymouth Harbor over the years. It was truly an amazing celebration sponsored by our local Northern Trust, for which we are sincerely grateful.

Employee Assistance Addresses Isolated Needs employees. The Employee Assistance Fund

supports our employees through these myriad

crises, all with the respect,

dignity, and confidentiality that

they deserve. This year we have

received over $9000 towards

employee assistance, and we

have awarded $5000 in support,

for which the recipients are

eternally grateful. Your gifts to

the Employee Assistance Fund make it possible for

our employees to emerge successfully through these

life events. We are thankful for your support.

Sometimes in our lives we find ourselves in a crisis

situation, for a variety of reasons. It could be that a

f am i l y em e r g e n c y a r i s e s

hundreds of miles away, you

need to be there, but there are no

funds to travel. Or one might

find themselves on the verge of

losing their housing and not have

the funds to pay back rent. Or

perhaps a water heater has

broken and a family is left

without hot water because they cannot afford to

purchase a new one at the time. These are real

situations that have happened to real people, our

Paper, Paper, Paper

We really are a profligate nation! The

average household throws away 13,000

separate pieces of

paper each year. We

use 85,000,000 tons

of paper a year,

nationwide. That is

about 680 pounds

per person. Does it

feel as if you use that

much?

And, in terms of

trees, it just gets worse. Every ton of paper

caused 17 trees to be cut down. Those trees

would have absorbed 250 pounds of carbon

dioxide. There are many other dreadful side

effects, too many to enumerate.

The point is clear. We have to get serious.

There are many things we could do but let’s

start with a few at a time.

A) ‘A’ is easy. Recycle—but you are

doing that already.

B) Have you tried to stop all those

catalogs? This is easy to do. Call the phone

number on the catalog and tell them. One

resident stopped 40 catalogs. It takes a bit

of time because

some catalogs have

been pre-printed,

but eventually!

C) Use the backs

of sheets of paper.

Learn how to make

that machine copy

your deathless

prose on front and

back. And cut used paper up for scratch

notes.

D) Try buying items made from recycled

paper such as greeting cards, paper towels,

even toilet tissue. Some of these products

are perfectly acceptable.

There are many other ideas which have been

suggested but we can start with these. Next

month we may have some ideas about paper

we could get out of our mailboxes.

Meanwhile, can we all save a

tree or two?
