I know I’m veering off topic, but the mention of Zalman Umlas reminded me of his father who I knew when I was in high school back in the 70s. Rabbi Umlas (I don’t think I ever heard his first name) and his wife ran the Sunday morning breakfast concession and I think they also doled out the Thursday night “mishmar” suppers, as well.
What I recall of him is that he was always a jovial man, but he didn’t put up with any guff from us wise guys.
Probably the most memorable for me were his very impressive basketball trick shots. His abilities on the court were all the more impressive considering that he was, shall we say, not in classic “athletic” shape. 🙂
