Marshall was my closest friend at Central High. He was a marvelous piano player. He taught me how to play Tchaikovskys Piano Concerto and even explained to me what
the melody was actually saying. Marshall was a fastidious dresser, and had more suits
in his closet than probably any of his classmates. He was a counselor at a summer
camp, getting quite an education in real life there. He attended business school at
Temple Univerrsity after graduating Central. He had an interesting job there he saw to it that students were taking all the courses they needed to graduate. When I was in the Air
Force in California (around 1968) my mother called me to tell me she saw him as a guest on Whats My Line. His occupation was that he purchased meat for the lions for Ringling Bros. circus! No kidding! The next call I got from my mother about him, many years later, was very sad. She told me that she read his obituary in the Inquirer. He had a position with a well-known clothing manufacturer.(Submitted fondly by Stephen Feldman)
