In 1955, Mom began dating Alan Maury Razovsky — a second-generation immigrant Lithuanian Jew, born 1914 in St. Louis MO, more recently from Dallas, Texas, an electrical engineer at TVA where Mom worked.
** Flashback ** There were twelve Jews at UTexas Austin in 1935, where AMR got his engineering degree.
One of them ended up working in the New York City financial district — World Bank, or maybe Agency for International Development.
I don’t know if he ever said, but wherever it was, someone told his classmate, “We need an incorruptible electrical engineer to supervise our investments in Asia.”
Alan Razovsky went to New York to interview for Manager of Transmission and Distribution at the Manila Electric Company.
He then came back to Flintstone and told Mom, “We have to get married. I’m taking you and the boys to the Philippines.”
I had a brother, Michael Lee Dyer, vintage 1941 and, in this chain of events, acquired a stepsister, Carolyn Razovsky.
