Introduce Yourself: Jean Abarbanel |
|
|
|
Hello, my name is Jean Abarbanel and I was born in Boston, Mass in 1941. Fortunately, when I was 6 years old, my father became tired of shoveling snow. So he put my mother and my siblings and me in a car and drove west to Los Angeles where we had relatives.
