<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Last night Gotham members and guests gathered on Zoom for what was supposed to be a discussion of the documentary \u201cFour Seasons Lodge.\u201d That was the hook, we got way more than that!
We had the privilege and benefit to hear from an amazing woman who clearly has the key to enjoying a successful life.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Esther Geizhals, the mother of Ben Geizhals (Healthcare Attorney and Gotham General Counsel.) was in the film. She shared some of the background behind the bungalow colony she was
part of in the Catskills. If you have not seen it, check it out.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">After a bit about the Lodge, Fred Klein asked Esther to tell about life before Four Seasons Lodge. She began by saying that sometimes she wishes she didn\u2019t have vivid memories.
At 91, she is the only one left from the Lodge \u2026 how lucky we are to be able to learn from this remarkable human being. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">And so she began\u2026<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">\u201c<b>I have had a wonderful life</b>,\u201d she said.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">September 1, 1939, the Nazis invited Poland. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Forced the leave school in 5<sup>th</sup> grade at age 10 to go to work for the Nazis; taken by cattle car to the concentration camp where her parents and little brother were killed;
spared the ovens by a stranger who grabbed her hand; head shaven and left on her own, hunger, cold, death march, and ultimate escape from the Nazis after years living through unspeakable horrors.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">And then \u2026<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">\u201c<b>I have had a wonderful life,</b>\u201d she repeated. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">She continued: How lucky she was, how kind people were to her. \u201c<b>How can people can be unkind? It makes no sense.\u201d</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We learned how she came to America \u2013 a place about which she knew nothing. How she told the consulate she would be thankful to come to America; how he filled out her forms and told
her America would be happy to welcome her. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">She talked about her 51 year love affair with her first husband, Ben\u2019s dad, with whom she came to this country as a 17 year old girl.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Asked how she could maintain her trust and love of life after all she went through, \u201cIt\u2019s ME! How can you be mean?\u201d<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">\u201cWant the doormen to be nice to you? Talk with them -
<b>be nice.</b>\u201d<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">\u201c<b>I have had a wonderful life,</b>\u201d she said yet again.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We learned about Sidney, her second love, also widowed, who she had to pursue because of his reticence. \u201cWomen should learn,\u201d she said. \u201cI took control, \u201ctwo lonely people should
have some good years together.\u201d <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">What would she do differently? \u201cI could do without the war?\u201d she said with a chuckle.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">It was Sidney who told her she would be a wonderful teacher. And that\u2019s exactly what this remarkable woman is - a teacher on a mission. She goes to schools and shares her story
with kids and loves being with them. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">And when she spoke of her own children, grandchildren and great grandchildren \u2026 her joy was palpable.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> \u201c<b>I have had a wonderful life,</b>\u201d she said.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Esther is clearly on to something.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The secret to a successful life \u2013 the key to happiness \u2013 she shared it and added a little something extra.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><i>\u201cBe kind and you will get ahead \u2026 wear your mask.\u201d</i></b> <o:p></o:p></p>
