RE: The opera "Central Park," German Jewry

No, I know Gene Shalit's family and they are not from Austria, unless I 
guess if this is one branch that moved there before the War.  I used to 
teach his aunt Yiddish.  Now that I think of it, she was a member of the 
Met chorus for 30+ years.   Her musicality may suggest a special musical 
gene that may or may not be related to his.
