As a matter of fact, my father was a doctor there and his roommate was Bruce Springsteen's pediatrician. That's my connection to fame and fortune. I grew up in Asbury Park, and unfortunately, when I was seven years old, my father passed away. It was a very sad occasion, and it had a big effect on me. My mother was from Petersburg, Virginia, and . . . after my father passed away, she moved back to where her family lived, which was Petersburg. She remarried and my stepfather was from Greensboro, North Carolina. We moved to Greensboro, which is where I spent the greater part of my early life. I probably from about the fifth grade through graduate school. Then after that, I practiced law in the Greensboro area for a little while, and one of my mother's brothers came to Greensboro for Passover. He asked me, and very pointed, he said, \"Joe, what are you going to do with your life?\" I said, \"I don't know. I'm practicing law here. I'm living at home.\" It was kind of a good life. But he always says, \"You need to get up and do something.\" That really had kind of had an effect on me. I looked around and said, \"Okay . . . if I do move, where do I want to go?\" I said, \"Okay, you could go to New Orleans [Louisiana], you could go to Miami [Florida], Dallas [Texas], Atlanta [Georgia].\" Of all those . . . I chose Atlanta only because I knew a couple of people because . . . growing up I had gone to Camp Blue Star and met an awful lot of people in the South. I moved to Atlanta, and when I tell you I moved here in my 1968 Buick Skylark, and I did not even have an interview for a job when I moved to Atlanta. I figure, pardon me, when I first started to look for a job, I didn't even know where you looked for a job. My first place I looked, I looked in the yellow pages, which most of you all don't even know what the yellow pages are, but that was part of the phone book. I said, \"I could look around for a job, and the worst thing that happens is, I fall on my face. I go home and nobody's going to know the difference.\" But I was very, very fortunate, extremely fortunate that through a mutual friend, I met one of my mentors, Al Garber.

Bernie's father, just after I went to work there, his father, Al Abrams, passed away. I went in as a, you might say as a bookkeeper in one of the companies. What was really interesting is the Abrams company was a family owned, family run company, but it was a publicly held company because Bernie . . . who had been in the service, was a straight laced, a person who wanted to do everything by the book. He wanted to be a public company, so they were public, but really in name only. I was there for over 20 years. What was kind of interesting is that . . . I started out as a bookkeeper and eventually became the CEO [Chief Executive Officer] of the company. Many people would ask me, they said, \"Joe, which one of the Abrams did you marry?\" Because they said . . . \"How could you become the CEO of a public company that is family owned, family controlled, and you're not an Abrams?\" Hopefully it was . . . a lot of luck . . . I felt that I helped the company grow. It was in 1999 that the third generation of the Abrams came in. I could see that they were really eager to take over the business.

The Kennedy family dates back to before the Civil War, and they own the property north of the Chattahoochee almost to Cartersville [Georgia]. If you can, just picture that. That is where Cumberland Mall is, where Interstates 75 and 285 meet. That family owned all of that property. Still and even to this day, they still own property in Douglasville [Georgia], in Newnan [Georgia]. They were a wonderful family. But the reason why they asked me to come on board was they had three companies that they wanted to sell. They asked me if I would come in and be the president of the company and they would give me a nice part of the profits when we sold the companies. We sold the companies and last one was sold in around 2012, 2013.

What happened was Carol was part of a larger group that they were all having to take their kids down to Shearith Israel, and then they wouldn't get home until after dark, so forth. There was a move afoot about starting a new synagogue. This was probably in the early 1980's, probably the early 1980's. What happened was they had a, literally had a congregational vote. I forgot when the date was, but they had a congregational vote as to are we going to move Shearith Israel out to the suburbs or is it going to stay here? There were more older people than there were younger people at the time. The older generation, one, they wanted to stay there, and that was what the impetus was to start B'nai Torah. B'nai Torah was started about that time, and we moved into the actual synagogue building where we are now [on] Rosh Ha-Shanah of 1985. I know because I was on the building committee at the time, and we've been there ever since. I got involved in the synagogue. Carol, one day, I think we were . . .

Pi Lam [Pi Lambda Phi], which was kind of, some Jewish, some not Jewish, but it was primarily all the people who were from the Greensboro area in eastern North Carolina, who I knew. I became more familiar with those people. That's why I joined the fraternity. But I did not get very much involved in the Jewish life at North Carolina, primarily because, studying took a lot of my time and really didn't have the time nor the inclination to get involved. As I said, graduated in 1967, practiced law for a short period of time until I moved to Atlanta. Then kind of, I'll give you a real short story that I went to work for, as I said, Al Garber and had passed the North Carolina bar but was not licensed, hadn't taken the bar in Georgia. I was in the accounting firm and the head of the tax department comes up to me one day, this was early 1969, comes up to me, says, \"Joe, you got to take the CPA exam.\" I said, \"No.\" I really didn't care about being a CPA. He said, \"Joe, if you want to move up in the firm, you got to be a CPA.\" He comes back a week later, \"Joe, did you sign up for the CPA exam.\" [I said,] \"No, not yet. I'm too busy doing . . .\" I was doing tax returns, believe it or not, even though I didn't have that formal training . . .

He signs up for me and I took the CPA exam for the first time in May of 1969. I didn't know it at the time, and he didn't tell me at that time. He said, \"Joe, that a law had been passed in Georgia that effective July 1, 1969, you could not sit for the CPA exam unless you had a major in accounting.\" That is still the law. I sat for it in May. I was grandfathered . . . that I didn't have to have an accounting degree.

At that time, I think Steve Selig was president of Federation and he had a committee [that] was being formed, it was the capital campaign committee. There was a city wide or a community wide capital campaign. People that were on the committee were Sid Kirschner, Ralph Levy, Hal Abrams, Jody Franco, and myself. Steve had asked me to join that committee. Our job was to allocate and oversee the disbursement of, it was about $62 million at the time, I think, of dispersing the money to all of these agencies to build capital projects and that's how I really started getting involved in the community with capital [campaigns] because you could see the results of what you were doing. It wasn't, sometimes if you're involved in a program, it's sometimes it's difficult to see the results of it. But here I could see like the new community center, Davis Academy, all different agencies were receiving money. It was our job to make sure that that money got spent wisely. We had a mandate that said that nobody will build a facility that they cannot complete. We had to make sure that they had the money or the funds, not only from Federation, but in house or were raising it that they could finish their projects. That lasted, I was probably on that committee by the time we wound it down, was probably in the early 2000's. At that particular time was when I really started gearing up and not realizing it.

The states that did not declare secession were known as the “Union” or the “North.” The war had its origin in the issue of slavery. After four years of bloody combat, which left over 600,000 Union and Confederate soldiers dead and destroyed much of the South's infrastructure, the Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and the difficult Reconstruction process of restoring national unity and granting civil rights to freed slaves began.\u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/141639/file/262034#t=586.0,724.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/141639/file/262034/annotation_set/1812/annotation/220","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003eCartersville is a city in Bartow County, Georgia, located within the northwest edge of the Atlanta metropolitan area.
