Al Schwimmer, Founder of Israel Aircraft Industries, Dies at 94
Schwimmer, an American citizen born in New York, was convicted in 1950 of violating the Neutrality Act for smuggling planes to Israel during the 1948 War of Independence.

Adolph William ("Al") Schwimmer, founder of Israel Aircraft Industries and winner of the Israel Prize died on Friday at Tel Hashomer hospital on his 94th birthday.
He is survived by his wife, Rena, a son, Danny, his daughter, Daphna and grandchildren. His funeral will be held on Monday.

Schwimmer, an American citizen born in New York, was convicted in 1950 of violating the Neutrality Act for smuggling planes to Israel during the 1948 War of Independence. He was stripped of his civil rights, but not imprisoned.
The American Jew was able to covertly bring the aircrafts to Israel by establishing false companies, one of which was purportedly the official airline of Panama. Schwimmer was in the Air Transport Command in World War II, providing him with many contacts that were pilots and in the airplane industry. He was able to use his contacts to transport the planes to Israel.
Schwimmer was pardoned in 2001 by then outgoing U.S. President Bill Clinton. The pardon was awarded without any formal request from Schwimmer.
In an interview with the Jerusalem Report in 2001, Schwimmer said he never applied for a pardon, calling it is a "complicated process". The expatriate added that "you have to express regret for what you did, and I didn't feel that way."
However, the eldest son of Hank Greenspun, a close friend of Schwimmer's who worked with him when he was smuggling arms into Israel during the Independence War, is an attorney and a friend of Clinton.
The younger Greenspun sent all the paperwork to the Justice Department and told Schwimmer, "I'm not asking you. I'm telling you, I sent in your application for a pardon."
After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Schwimmer joined the nascent Israel Air Force, after which he established an aircraft company that evolved to become the Israel Aircraft Industries during the 50's. Schwimmer ran the aircraft company for over 20 years, during which he became close with current President Shimon Peres.
After disagreements with former Defense Ministers Moshe Dayan and Ezer Weizman, Schwimmer left Israel Aircradt Industries, becoming a "special adviser" for the Israeli government for which he was paid a symbolic one shekel a year.
Schwimmer was awarded the Israel Prize for his contributions to Israeli society in 2006.

Albert Nathanson, a longtime Hollywood businessman who played a role in the the development of the city, died Tuesday from Alzheimer's disease at Sunrise Rehabilitation Center and Nursing Home in Fort Lauderdale. He was 90. Born in Long Branch, N.J., on May 25, 1909, Nathanson came to adulthood during the Great Depression in the 1930s. With difficulty in finding work came desperation, and Nathanson, then in his early 20s, was in the midst of it. While trying to find a job, he told the manager of Silverod's, a drugstore on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, he would work for nothing until he proved himself. He rose to become manager of the drugstore, and - at five-foot three - the best player on the company's basketball team. In 1937 he met Selma Weinstein, whom he would later marry. He was promoted a year later, but Nathanson and his new wife decided to move to Fort Lauderdale in 1939 and open a handbag store on Andrews Avenue. With the advent of World War II, tourism in the area declined, and Nathanson closed the store and returned to Brooklyn with his family, working in the Brooklyn Navy Yard as a riveter repairing ships. After the war, Nathanson moved to Long Branch, N.J., and then back to Fort Lauderdale in 1947 where he joined his father-in-law, Max Weinstein, a building contractor, building duplexes and homes in Victoria Park. Since the properties were selling fast enough, in 1948, Nathanson and his wife decided to open the Betsy and Billy Children's department store at 1939 Hollywood Blvd., selling furniture and accessories, competing with four similar stores in the area. ''The store wasn't doing well and [he] started bringing in children's clothes and closed [out] the furniture aspect of the business.'' said his son, William Nathanson, who lives in Pembroke Pines and is owner of Polo Grounds, a sports-card business. ''He did so well that he was able to buy the property next door, expanding the store.'' He opened a shoe and toy department in the store, making the business into a fully outfitted store for children. For 40 years, Billy and Betsy thrived until it closed it doors for the last time on November 10, 1988. A real-estate agency and medical supplies store now occupy the site, but the name of the store still remains at the entryway, according to his son. In 1954 Nathanson received the first lifetime membership of the Hollywood Optimist Club, an organization that assists the needy. That same year he donated all the equipment to the Hollywood Little League team, the only one in the city then. From 1957 to 1988, Nathanson took an active role in both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, distributing equipment to them. In 1965, according to William Nathanson, his father donated all the uniforms to the Seminole Indians to start their Troop No. 102 and was given a chief's headdress. As a member of the Hollywood Jewish community, Nathanson became instrumental in the formation of Temple Sinai of Hollywood, first at 13th and Johnson streets, now at 1400 N. 46th Ave. in Hollywood. In addition to his son, Nathanson is survived by brother David Nathanson of Boca Raton and sister Edna Chapman of Miami Beach. A service will be conducted at noon today at Levitt-Weinstein Beth David Chapel in Hollywood, followed by interment at Mount Sinai Cemetery in Opa-locka.

ALFRED J. GREEN
AGE: 95 • Wilmington, Delaware

A life well-lived…..
Alfred Green passed away September 25 with Florence, his beloved wife of 69 years, at his side. He is also survived by family that loved him: his children - Penny Madden, Karen Green and her partner Linda Cavanaugh, and Andrew Green; five grandchildren - Lezlie Madden and husband Matt Raalf, Zoe Vero, Bianca Rose Cavanaugh-Green, Alexander Green and wife Natanya Miller, and Elana Green; two great-grandsons - Everett and Tanner Raalf; former daughter-in-law Teresa Harrison; nephews Steven Dougherty, Steven Levine, Robert Levine, and niece Gwen Steptoe.

Born October 2, 1920, Al came of age during the Great Depression. He was the eldest of five children of Elizabeth and Samuel Green including his siblings Ruth, Vivian, Marvin and Herb. Graduating Wilmington High School at the age of 16, Al earned a chemistry degree from the University of Delaware and then a master's degree in chemistry from Virginia Tech by the time of his 21st birthday. By then, World War II was raging and Al served in the US Army Air Corps from 1942 to 1945, based in Saipan in the South Pacific. Al remained in the US Army Reserves for over 20 years, retiring with the rank of Colonel.

During the war, Al saw a photo of Florence Ferber in the Wilmington News Journal which was delivered to the local troops serving overseas. He told his sister that he wanted to date Florence when he returned. And that he did, showing up in his uniform to their first date. Florence vividly remembers that moment when she opened the door and saw that handsome soldier. Al and Florence were married in February 1947. Al began his career as a chemical engineer with National Vulcanized Fiber (NVF) where he remained for over 35 years, ultimately serving as a senior executive of the company. During this time, his extended family spent many happy summers together in Wildwood, New Jersey.

Beyond his boundless devotion to his wife and children, Al believed strongly in service to his community. A driving force in Al's life was the Jewish ideal of "Tikkun Olam," repairing the world. Al remained a lifelong member of Temple Beth Emeth, attending Saturday Shabbat services devotedly. He served the Jewish community in numerous leadership roles on the following boards - Temple Beth Emeth, including as President from 1968-1972; the Jewish Federation of Delaware, including as campaign chairman and treasurer; the Jewish Community Center; Pinemere Camp; and Beth Emeth Memorial Cemetery, including a long term as President.

In retirement, Al continued his service volunteering at the emergency room of St. Francis Hospital for over twenty years until he was 91 years old. He was also a volunteer with SCORE, the senior core of retired executives, and at the A.I DuPont Hospital for Children. At the age of 88, Al received the award as Volunteer of the Year from the Jewish Federation of Delaware in a ceremony attended by Delaware's governor and senator.

Al Green lived his life guided by the words etched on the front of his beloved synagogue, Temple Beth Emeth: "Do Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly with Thy God." He lived a long and sweet life…

Alice F. Strouse, a resident of Redding for sixty years, died November 23, 2010 at Bethel Health Care surrounded by loving family and friends. She touched the lives of many and will always be in our hearts. Born in 1925 in Norfolk, Va., she graduated from Duke University with a degree in physics. After college, Alice worked for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in Langley, VA doing statistical analysis of World War II bombing photographs. In 1947, Alice met and married William M. Strouse, another physicist. They lived in Bethlehem, Pa. and Corning, N.Y. before moving to Connecticut in 1950. For almost 30 years, Alice taught mathematics at Danbury High School in a classroom brightened by red geraniums and a giant geometric mural. She loved teaching, and always said that her students "kept her young." She led many students to achieve excellence, and her academic mentoring created life long friendships. She was particularly influential as the math team coach, and as DHS's first AP Calculus teacher, a role she proudly filled until retiring at age 71. Outside the classroom, she also taught and modeled excellence as a gardener, creating gardens and inspiring others to create gardens of their own. The keys to her success were her devotion to mulch and her willingness, as an organic gardener, to deal capably with all the 'varmints.' Alice was regularly on patrol for bugs, slugs, and critters which she dispatched or deported with grace and vigor. Alice was a perpetual student of culture and history, and traveled extensively with Elder Hostel. Her travels included trips to Turkey, Morocco, Iceland, Thailand, Tonga, Sicily and the Galapagos Islands. Alice's motto was 'keep moving' and she did just that, outwalking fellow travelers twenty years her junior. Alice swam in the summer, cross country skied in the winter, and studied watercolors at the Redding senior center, creating many paintings and occasionally displaying her art at local shows. Alice is survived by a daughter, Mary (Miriam) Strouse, of New Paltz, N.Y. and a son, Peter Strouse of Danbury. She was predeceased by her husband in 1990.

Alvin Cramer Segal always enjoyed a good story, seen in his love of theatre, and the drama of his own life, he knew, could compete with any fiction.

Segal, who died on Nov. 4 at age 89, didn't quite come from rags but his ability to turn them into riches became legendary.

Peerless Clothing Inc. under his stewardship grew into one of the largest suppliers of high-end men's suits in North America, holding the license for such labels as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Michael Kors.

Segal was also a leading spokesman for the Canadian apparel manufacturing industry, helping shape government policy.

His wealth allowed him to become an outstanding philanthropist. His family's $24-million donation in 2005 to the Jewish General Hospital for the creation of the Segal Cancer Centre was one of the largest of its kind at the time.

But he will probably be best remembered for his rescue of the Saidye Bronfman Centre- now the Segal Centre for Performing Arts- a couple of years later, motivated largely by Segal's infatuation with Yiddish theatre.

Segal has been called a visionary entrepreneur and one of the most knowledgeable people in employing technology to produce fine apparel. Segal's foresight served him and the struggling garment industry in Canada most spectacularly in his recognizing what a boost free trade with the United States would be, opening up a market 10 times the size of that in Canada.

Segal was named a member of the Order of Canada in 2002 (promoted to officer in 2010) for his "pivotal role" in advising Ottawa during the negotiations that led to the 1989 Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement and later the North American Free Trade Agreement.

A native of Albany, N.Y., 18-year-old Segal realized he was not university bound and came to Montreal in 1951 to work in his stepfather's clothing factory. He started at the bottom toiling on the floor.

Even after he rose to chairman and chief executive officer of Peerless, Segal never lost his sweet, unassuming persona- at least, outside business. Within, he was known as one tough customer.

Numerous condolences speak of his kindness, constant smile and loyalty as a friend. According to his family, his motto was: "Don't look back, you'll only get a crick in your neck."

In his 2017 memoir My Peerless Story: It Starts with the Collar, Segal recounts how he transformed a small family business from "the collar down and from the ground up" relying heavily on intuition. Improving fabrics and modernizing machinery to make the "engineered suit" led to Peerless becoming the main source of designer labels for major department stores.

When the FTA came into effect, Segal seized the opportunity to enter the American market, and eventually almost all of his company's clothes were exported to the U.S.

Segal became president of the Canadian Men's Clothing Manufacturers Association.

Following a company tradition, Segal said he donated his first paycheck at Peerless to Combined Jewish Appeal and "I haven't looked back since" when it came to charitable giving.

The Jewish community, Israel and Montreal in general have been beneficiaries of the Alvin Segal Family Foundation, especially in the arts, health care and education. It has made large donations to McGill University Health Centre, Concordia and McGill Universities (notably to its Jewish teacher training program), Centraide of Greater Montreal, the Jewish Public Library, and the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards.

He was chairman of the Segal Centre for Performing Arts board for many years, playing a hands-on role in its welfare and creating an endowment for it.

Besides the Order of Canada, Segal was inducted into the National Order of Quebec and named a Great Montrealer.

In a statement, the Segal administration said that thanks to his support the centre has "thrived and become a leading player in the development of Canadian theatre. Simply put, we would not be here without him…"

"Nothing brought him more joy than the Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre. He would show up with danish pastries and pizza in hand for our volunteers, and took pride in the personal recordings of the productions," said Segal executive and artistic director Lisa Rubin.

Segal once said, "Art brings people together and is a positive force in society. My passion is to make this a cultural centre like you've never seen in Montreal."

Friend Arthur Roskies said, "My one outstanding memory of him was sitting beside him at a play at the Segal Centre and he was mouthing and virtually anticipating by a second what the actors were about to say on the stage. He confided to me that it was the sixth time he had seen the play and that he sees all the productions more than once. It showed me how dedicated he was to his centre- it was his baby."

"Together with the board of directors, we mourn the passing of a visionary who personified the importance of philanthropy for the arts, in paving the way for the timely art institution that the Segal Centre is today. We are honoured to carry on his work and legacy," stated board president Sylvi Plante.

Segal is survived by his wife Emmelle, his children Joel, Barbara and Renee, and their families.

His wealth allowed him to become an outstanding philanthropist. His family's $24-million donation in 2005 to the Jewish General Hospital for the creation of the Segal Cancer Centre was one of the largest of its kind at the time.

But he will probably be best remembered for his rescue of the Saidye Bronfman Centre- now the Segal Centre for Performing Arts- a couple of years later, motivated largely by Segal's infatuation with Yiddish theatre.

Segal has been called a visionary entrepreneur and one of the most knowledgeable people in employing technology to produce fine apparel. Segal's foresight served him and the struggling garment industry in Canada most spectacularly in his recognizing what a boost free trade with the United States would be, opening up a market 10 times the size of that in Canada.

Segal was named a member of the Order of Canada in 2002 (promoted to officer in 2010) for his "pivotal role" in advising Ottawa during the negotiations that led to the 1989 Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement and later the North American Free Trade Agreement.

A native of Albany, N.Y., 18-year-old Segal realized he was not university bound and came to Montreal in 1951 to work in his stepfather's clothing factory. He started at the bottom toiling on the floor.

Even after he rose to chairman and chief executive officer of Peerless, Segal never lost his sweet, unassuming persona- at least, outside business. Within, he was known as one tough customer.

Numerous condolences speak of his kindness, constant smile and loyalty as a friend. According to his family, his motto was: "Don't look back, you'll only get a crick in your neck."

In his 2017 memoir My Peerless Story: It Starts with the Collar, Segal recounts how he transformed a small family business from "the collar down and from the ground up" relying heavily on intuition. Improving fabrics and modernizing machinery to make the "engineered suit" led to Peerless becoming the main source of designer labels for major department stores.

When the FTA came into effect, Segal seized the opportunity to enter the American market, and eventually almost all of his company's clothes were exported to the U.S.

Segal became president of the Canadian Men's Clothing Manufacturers Association.

Following a company tradition, Segal said he donated his first paycheck at Peerless to Combined Jewish Appeal and "I haven't looked back since" when it came to charitable giving.

The Jewish community, Israel and Montreal in general have been beneficiaries of the Alvin Segal Family Foundation, especially in the arts, health care and education. It has made large donations to McGill University Health Centre, Concordia and McGill Universities (notably to its Jewish teacher training program), Centraide of Greater Montreal, the Jewish Public Library, and the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards.

He was chairman of the Segal Centre for Performing Arts board for many years, playing a hands-on role in its welfare and creating an endowment for it.

Besides the Order of Canada, Segal was inducted into the National Order of Quebec and named a Great Montrealer.

In a statement, the Segal administration said that thanks to his support the centre has "thrived and become a leading player in the development of Canadian theatre. Simply put, we would not be here without him…"

"Nothing brought him more joy than the Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre. He would show up with danish pastries and pizza in hand for our volunteers, and took pride in the personal recordings of the productions," said Segal executive and artistic director Lisa Rubin.

Segal once said, "Art brings people together and is a positive force in society. My passion is to make this a cultural centre like you've never seen in Montreal."

Friend Arthur Roskies said, "My one outstanding memory of him was sitting beside him at a play at the Segal Centre and he was mouthing and virtually anticipating by a second what the actors were about to say on the stage. He confided to me that it was the sixth time he had seen the play and that he sees all the productions more than once. It showed me how dedicated he was to his centre- it was his baby."

"Together with the board of directors, we mourn the passing of a visionary who personified the importance of philanthropy for the arts, in paving the way for the timely art institution that the Segal Centre is today. We are honoured to carry on his work and legacy," stated board president Sylvi Plante.

Segal is survived by his wife Emmelle, his children Joel, Barbara and Renee, and their families.

Alvin Cramer Segal always enjoyed a good story, seen in his love of theatre, and the drama of his own life, he knew, could compete with any fiction.

Segal, who died on Nov. 4 at age 89, didn't quite come from rags but his ability to turn them into riches became legendary.
