I send condolences and love to the entire Hollander family on Alvin's passing.
I am David and Ruth Breitbart's niece, Idene Goldman. My parents were Lee and Marshall Goldman, and my mom was a hostess at the Esquire when my parents met, well before my aunt and uncle moved to California. We saw Alvin so very often, and I remember the past with fondness and great respect.
In sympathy,
Idene
