used to be one of the high sellers of Girl Scout cookies as I showed them in my
parents' (William and Edith Schubin's) store, the Hoboken Economy Store, 516
Washington St. Looking at the photo, I'm at the right corner behind the table.
At the left corner behind the table is Rita Schonhaut Abelow. Next to her is
the former Rochelle Kaplan, subsequently Shelly Drayzen."
