The Lelewer Legacy: Traditions of a Loving Family

Nancy Lelewer 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 prowress in sports, business and friendships. Surrounded by warm and caring grandparents, a beautiful and loving mother, and a nurturing, charismatic father, Nancy grew up in Highland Park, IL, attended Sarah Lawrence College in New York, spent a year in Spain, then began married life in Boston. As she examines a life of raising four children, researching learning differences, helping to establish the U.S. branch of Permobil, and becoming the grandmother of eight, she pays tribute to generations behind her and the family traditions that continue to be passed along as the Lelewer Legacy.
