Description: In the Lelewer Legacy, Nancy Lelewer (married name Sonnabend) describes a childhood filled with laughter, love, and family stories of her great-grandfather s arrival in New York in 1861, her grandfather s entry into the hat business, and her father s prowess in sports, business, and friendships. Surrounded by warm and caring grandparents, a beautiful and loving mother, and a nurturing, charismatic father-- the best father who ever lived -- Nancy Lelewer grew up in Highland Park, Illinois, attended Sarah Lawrence College in New York, spent a year in Spain, then began married life in Boston, Massachusetts. As she examines the exciting events during her busy years of raising four children, researching learning differences, helping to establish the computerized wheelchair company, USA Permobil, Inc. and becoming the grandmother of eight, she pays tribute to her great-grandfather, David Lelewer, her grandfather, Selig Seward Lelewer, and her father, Joseph David Lelewer. The Lelewer men, she notes, were charismatic men of business, who combined intuition, resilience, a willingness to experiment, zeal, and quirky problem solving with camaraderie and deep devotion to one another and their families. They knew right from wrong, gave help without expectation of return, radiated goodness, got satisfaction from seeing others happy, and gave back to society. They were beloved by their children and passed on to each generation a family code of helping others and building for the future. Finally, in the Afterword, Traditions Continue, Nancy incorporates photos of her grandchildren following the family tradition of achievement in sports, indeed, surpassing the successes of previous generations.
