Do you think she was happy with her fortune? OR...was she just a miserable lonely old woman?

She's quoted as saying " if you're being paid to do a job...do the job". That's an old school ideal that still has validity today; but, it's not as easily accepted today. I think she was just a hard TASK MASTER nothing wrong with that if you own the company.

Was born July 4th,1920. She was Leona Mindy Rosenthal born in Ulster County N.Y.
She first was married to Leo Pamzier an Attorney then to Joseph Lubin a Garment Industry figure. She dropped out of high school and told people she went to Hunter College but they have no record of her ever being there. She was a Real Estate agent when she met Harry who was still married when she took up with him. He divorced his wife to marry her. She had one son who passed away and she would never talk about him.

And rich people don't pay tax in the same proportion to income as the middle class. That's capitalism the rich invest to creat jobs the rest work and pay the bulk of taxes.

>:(Leona was the one who indirectly drove me out of Parkchester in the Bronx. Parkchester was owned by Metropolitan Life. It was a beautiful place to live. Then Leona took over, and it went downhill quite fast!!! Everything changed for the worst!!!
