Asked about life-long passions, Naomi
Wittenberg gives what some would consider a
conventional response for a woman. “My
husband,” she answered, speaking of Simeon
“Sim” Wittenberg, the man with whom she
traded insults on first meeting and later shared
62 years of marriage together.
However, Naomi is far from a conventional
woman, whatever that is. A self-declared
feminist schooled at Boston University, she and
her husband were equal in all their endeavors.
Deep love, enduring partnerships and the
resourceful s t rength of the immigrant
experience are her family heritage, so it’s not
surprising to find all these qualities in her
description of her own married life. Naomi
says Sim, now seven years gone, was a
stimulating companion and her one passion to
the end. Her eyes say he still is.
Partners in parenting, they raised two smart,
strong daughters in Syosset, Long Island in
New York. They were very involved in their
community, and the schooling of their
daughters. For many years, Sim was the
President of the Central School District #2 and
Naomi was a leader in the New York State
PTA.
They were business partners as well throughout
those years building Wit-Craft Electric
Corporation from the ground up. Sim was the
technical lead while Naomi led the business
side, yet they taught each other all they knew
and built Wit-Craft as a team. Naomi
understood the business inside and out and
became quite comfortable in the world of
electrical systems, motors and controls. Her
no-nonsense confidence earned respect and the
business of men who were at first ready to
discount this woman in a man’s role.
After 35 years they sold the business so they
could travel the world, which they did for
another 20 years. One glance around Naomi’s
East Garden home is a tour of many cultures
and includes a collection of original art by

Bjǿrn Wiinblad, a renowned Danish designer
and artist in ceramics, silver, bronze, textiles,
and graphics. She confesses that as an ardent
Fund Shop shopper, she’s picked up many other
treasures of which she is fond.
When Sim and Naomi moved to Sarasota in
1998, they found another world in which they
could indulge a shared passion—theatre.
Sarasota’s rich theatre culture afforded them the
opportunity to both support this favorite art
form, as well as participate. As members of the
Asolo (Rep) Theatre Guild, they were
instrumental in the activities of the Guild Play
Readers group.
“Sim loved acting. He was a ham, and I was
organized,” said Naomi. “We presented
readings throughout the community to promote
the Asolo, and,” she emphasized, “most
importantly, to raise funds making it possible
for public school students to attend live,
professional theatre performances.”
Children, business, travel and now, theatre, had
become the focus of their intensely involved
lives together. They moved into Plymouth
Harbor together in August of 2006 only to be
shocked shortly thereafter with news that Sim
was gravely ill. January 2007 found Naomi
broken hearted. The couple had looked forward
to joining the Plymouth Harbor Players, but she
was not ready to take the stage alone. One year
later it was a different story.
By the 2008-2009 theatre season, Naomi
stepped in to adapt, produce and direct “The
Cynthia Caper,” an early script by Howard
Buermann, the resident who had written 19 of
Naomi Wittenberg Continued
the 28 original plays performed annually by the
troupe over the years.
The indomitable Naomi continues to follow this
passion, now entering her seventh season with
the Plymouth Harbor Players as the producer
that pulls everything together. Her partners in
theatre crime are now Peg and Don Wallace
and they have great plans for this year’s
production.
“The Stash on the 17th Floor,” another script by
Don Wallace, includes multi-media surprises.
There will be no formal auditions this year, but
rather residents are invited to gather on
Tuesday, December 10 and Wednesday,
December 11 from 2 to 4 pm in the Mezzanine
conference room where there will be informal
readings of the play and a discussion of all the
roles, on-stage and off-stage, available. This
means the readings are not just for actors, but
also for anyone wanting to serve backstage with
props, lighting, prompting, costumes, or any
other supporting crew role.
The performances will be at 8 pm on Tuesday,
February 25, and at 2 and 8 pm on Wednesday,
February 26.
Producing the Plymouth Harbor plays is a lot of
hard work, but Naomi probably enjoys that
collaborative effort as much as the audience
enjoys the result. It’s clear that she’s not one to
do anything half-heartedly. Committed and
passionate about her family—daughters,
granddaughters, and great-grandchildren—as
well as political and community matters, Naomi
knows what is important in her life.

In Hollywood, California, there is a 1.5 mile stretch of sidewalk known as the Walk of Fame;
Grauman’s Chinese Theatre is located on this same walkway. The forecourt of the theatre contains over 200 hand and foot prints of celebrities and on the
walkway, as of July 10, 2012, there were 2473 bronze stars representing stars of movies, television and other entertainment venues. Who makes it to the Walk of Fame? Two million+ tourists visit each year. To be chosen for a star there is a committee that offers the opportunity for a star installation—for a donation of $30,000.
The legend of the Magi visiting the Christ Child twelve days after his birth has inspired carols and pageants for centuries. But I wonder what significance we would give this legend if they had gotten lost along the way and never reached the manger. What difference would it make if it were not included in the nativity stories? Without benefit of a map or GPS, they did what most of us are reluctant to do when we are lost; they stopped and asked for directions. They had “observed his star,” or as the familiar carol says, they were “following yonder star”.
Life is a journey that unfolds by way of many paths. Most of us would not admit to being lost, needing directions, yet all of us look for a star to follow. Choosing the right star is a challenge. The Magi found a baby in a manger, a baby who grew up to be called the Savior of all humankind. He became a star unlike any star honored on the Walk of Fame, yet we often give them more loyalty than the one we know as the Prince of Peace.
December 2013 Harbor Light Page 3
Spiritual Reflections By Chaplain Jerry O’Connor
As we move through the Advent/Christmas Season, may we never lose sight of the star that doesn’t require a $30K donation, the star that will lead us, if we are willing to follow. Millions have seen the star in the East, but too often have followed the wrong star and remain lost. Which star have you chosen, the star honored in bronze, or the star that leads to peace, justice and love for all?

Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of rededication, also known as the festival of lights, is an eight day festival beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. It is one of the best
known Jewish holidays, not because of its proximity to Christmas. Many non-Jews (and even many assimilated Jews) think of this holiday as the Jewish Christmas. This year, Hanukkah began on November 27. The Menorah has been placed in MacNeil Chapel. Each day another light will shine until all eight lights are burning, symbolizing the miracle of the oil found at the rededication of the Temple. Only enough for one day was found, but it lasted for eight days. Thus, the festival of Hanukkah was established. Our observance will be on Monday, December 2, at 4:00 p.m. in the Card Room. We will share the story, light the candles, eat latkes, sing songs and play the Dreidel Game. All are welcome to attend.

Welcome New Friends Carolyn Albrecht
Residency Began: September 30, 2013 Apartment N-211 Extension 178
- Isabel Pedersen
Someone may have moved
into Plymouth Harbor
knowing more people here
than Carolyn Albrecht does-
but I doubt it.
When Carolyn talks about
her bridge groups, some of
our residents are members.
Her mah jong games were at
Plymouth Harbor. She
played golf with some of us,
she worked with others of us
at the Longboat Key Library,
still others at the old Pelican
Man Bird Sanctuary. Only at the Cat Depot
were there few human friends. Her task,
socializing nasty cats so they could be
adopted, was a truly solitary pursuit.
Carolyn was born in St. Louis, moved on to
Mt. Vernon, New York, and then Plymouth,
Massachusetts where she went to high
school. After graduating from Colby
College in Maine, she, along with most of
our age group, found a secretarial job, at
Merrill Lynch. That would have worked out
better if she had ever really learned to type.
So, surprise, she got bumped to the
Personnel Department.
Other jobs where her so-so typing skills
were utilized included working for a PR
firm during Sen. Irving
Ives’ campaign for
governor of New York,
for the Imperial
C o m m o d i t i e s
Corporation in New
York and the Overlook
Hospital in Summit,
New Jersey.
After marriage to Phil
Albrecht, a research
analyst on Wall Street,
she lived in Westfield,
New Jersey for 30 years
while they raised two sons and a daughter.
These, in turn, produced seven
grandchildren.
Longboat Key was the Albrecht choice
when they moved to Florida. For 29 years,
they lived in condos among friends who
now, no surprise, live at Plymouth Harbor.
Carolyn stayed at the Players Club after she
lost her husband, in 2006. That is, she
stayed until she decided to join dozens of
her friends at Plymouth Harbor. Now,
except when she is at her summer home in
the Poconos, she is here where she is adding
new friends to her huge list.

Welcome New Friends Helen Kelly
Residency Began: October 1, 2013 Apartment T-414 Extension 432
Give a hearty welcome to
delightful, talented Helen
Kelly who joined us in
October! Many of us knew
her from her very active
par ticipat ion in many
community organizations.
Born in Manhattan, Helen
attended Cathedral High
School. She graduated with a
B.S. from Mt. St. Vincent
College in Riverdale; her
ma j o r w a s Bu s i n e s s
Administration.
Her career began as an Advertising Agency
Account Executive at J. Walter Thompson and
Abbott Kimball. She later became the Fashion
Advertising Director at the New Yorker
Magazine. (This is where she met Jane Smiley
who later introduced her to Sarasota and, much
later, to Plymouth Harbor.)
Helen married John Love Kelly in 1952; living in
Cortland Manor, N.Y., they raised two children,
Janet and J. Scott. Their four grandchildren are
scattered around the country. Helen enjoys
following the exploits of her son who lives in Salt
Lake City and is an avid triathlon participant.
When they retired from the advertising world,
Helen and John moved to Siesta Key where they
lived for eleven happy years. After her husband’s
death in 2004, Helen moved to a beautiful ‘tree
house’ in the Landings.
Helen’s community service
record is spectacular. At the
Women’s Resource Center she
has been a board member,
n ew s l e t t e r e d i t o r a n d
Scholarship committee co-chair.
A former board member of the
Sarasota Orchestra Association,
Helen was the editor of their
newsletter. She worked on the
Selby Library Reading Festival.
As a former member of the
Mission Valley Golf Club, she
was on the staff of their Valley
Views newsletter.
Helen now attends classes at the USF Lifetime
Learning program, studying ‘Great Books’ and
Creative Writing; her memoirs are the current
writing project. She is interested in the theatre
and subscribes to the Asolo and Florida Studio
Theatres. She also enjoys the Town Hall lecture
series.
While she has many happy memories to look
back on, she remembers, with special fondness, a
‘home exchange’ with a family from
Montremont, France (near Lyon). Welcomed
there by the family and friends of the exchange
couple, it was a memorable month.
An active, dynamic woman with an infectious
smile, we look forward to Helen Kelly’s
involvement in Plymouth Harbor!

Huisking. Her son Charlie Huisking is a current
and committed friend and supporter of Plymouth
Harbor, and he shared with us that his mother and
sister were both artists and supporters of the arts.
Charlie was delighted to designate his gift to the
Wellness Center, and place his family’s name on
the Art Studio, essentially declaring our capital
campaign successfully funded.
Our sincerest thanks to the more than 30 donors
who saw in this new Wellness initiative an
opportunity to make Plymouth Harbor the best it
can be! We are grateful for your shared vision and
support.

A Spirit of Philanthropy
Success Achieved for the Wellness Center Campaign
by Becky Pazkowski
Starrs Support Dance Bands Many thanks to Phil and Barry Starr who have made a generous gift of $2000 to support the cost of a dance band for each of the scheduled dances involving the portable dance floor. Upcoming dances include:
Valentine’s Day Ball February 14 (Friday)
Prom Dance or May Day Ball May 4 (Sunday afternoon)
Salute to Hollywood Dance August 23 (Saturday)
New Year’s Eve Dance December 31 (Tuesday)
We are very pleased to announce that the capital
campaign for the Wellness Center Renovation
project has been completed, with a total of
$1,006,000 in support! As you know, in an effort
to revamp the Wellness Center, we had quietly
gone to the heaviest users of the current facility, to
those who had a unique vision for what the
Wellness Center could be, and to the greater
community for support. Through those efforts we
successfully raised over $906,000 towards the
project. This led us to look into funds donated
previously, that were “pending designation” by
generous and grateful families. The Huisking
family was one of those, with a gift of $100,000
that had been made in memory of Mrs. Pat
In each of the last few years, our government has made it possible for individuals to make a gift directly from their IRA to a charity without having to pay federal income tax on the distribution. This year is included. The way it works is if you are 70 1/2 or older, you may roll over up to $100,000 from your IRA to a charity or charities of your choice. The check must be moved directly from your IRA account to the charity, not to you personally. The amount you roll over is, therefore, not included in your income for federal tax calculations. If you are interested in making a gift of this type, let your financial consultant know about it, or contact our Foundation office for more information.

A Spirit of Philanthropy
National Philanthropy Day National Philanthropy Day is celebrated across the country on November 15 in a variety of ways. This year, The Plymouth Harbor Foundation chose two separate occasions to thank the many recent and historical donors for their generosity. The first was the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ (AFP) 28th annual event at Michael’s on East, where over 500 people gathered to celebrate the philanthropists in the county who give of themselves and their treasures to make our county the best it can be. This year, the Foundation sponsored a table to recognize our resident
Joanne Hastings and her gift to the Foundation to support the Wellness Center Renovation. Mrs. Hastings was among a small group of seven nominated for the Outstanding Individual Philanthropist. The second was our first Spirit of Philanthropy Celebration on November 14, where over 175 guests came together to help celebrate the impact philanthropy has had on life at Plymouth Harbor over the years. It was truly an amazing celebration sponsored by our local Northern Trust, for which we are sincerely grateful.
Employee Assistance Addresses Isolated Needs employees. The Employee Assistance Fund
supports our employees through these myriad
crises, all with the respect,
dignity, and confidentiality that
they deserve. This year we have
received over $9000 towards
employee assistance, and we
have awarded $5000 in support,
for which the recipients are
eternally grateful. Your gifts to
the Employee Assistance Fund make it possible for
our employees to emerge successfully through these
life events. We are thankful for your support.
Sometimes in our lives we find ourselves in a crisis
situation, for a variety of reasons. It could be that a

hundreds of miles away, you
need to be there, but there are no
funds to travel. Or one might
find themselves on the verge of
losing their housing and not have
the funds to pay back rent. Or
perhaps a water heater has
broken and a family is left
without hot water because they cannot afford to
purchase a new one at the time. These are real
situations that have happened to real people, our

Paper, Paper, Paper
We really are a profligate nation! The
average household throws away 13,000
separate pieces of
paper each year. We
use 85,000,000 tons
of paper a year,
nationwide. That is
about 680 pounds
per person. Does it
feel as if you use that
much?
And, in terms of
trees, it just gets worse. Every ton of paper
caused 17 trees to be cut down. Those trees
would have absorbed 250 pounds of carbon
dioxide. There are many other dreadful side
effects, too many to enumerate.
The point is clear. We have to get serious.
There are many things we could do but let’s
start with a few at a time.
A) ‘A’ is easy. Recycle—but you are
doing that already.
B) Have you tried to stop all those
catalogs? This is easy to do. Call the phone
number on the catalog and tell them. One
resident stopped 40 catalogs. It takes a bit
of time because
some catalogs have
been pre-printed,
but eventually!
C) Use the backs
of sheets of paper.
Learn how to make
that machine copy
your deathless
prose on front and
back. And cut used paper up for scratch
notes.
D) Try buying items made from recycled
paper such as greeting cards, paper towels,
even toilet tissue. Some of these products
are perfectly acceptable.
There are many other ideas which have been
suggested but we can start with these. Next
month we may have some ideas about paper
we could get out of our mailboxes.
Meanwhile, can we all save a
tree or two?
