MARIAN SNEIDER
Joe Finds Life Very Interesting
In 1929 Joe Blumcnthal won
a plaque from a civic club in
Cleveland for singing ""You Be-
long To My Heart." If Joe had
ciedicatt <1 hi* offering to life and
humanity it could have become
his personal thi me song.
"I love all my patients and I
love all people and that's why
J'm a happy man." declares Joe,
who hai been an employee in the
outpatient department of Mount
Sir.ai Hospital for 16 years. "The
MARIAN
enly way to be happy is to do
things for other people and even
if it hurts I put a smile on my
face and when I smile, the pa-
tients smile. I like to cheer
them up."
Joe came from a poor and un-
happy family. "I've learned to
a] predate happiness. I was the
oddest of seven children and
some of my brothers and sisters
were raised in an orphanage. I
do all I can to make my wife,
Sally, happy."
One of the things that brings
Sally pleasure is Joe's art. "My,
look what Joe did." Sally ex-
claims when she sets his work.
Joe works on his pictures in
8] are hours. He had done some
sketches and showed them to his
fellow employees at Mount Sinai.
They encouraged him to do
more.
"It was like a miracle." Joe
says looking upward, "and the
idta of doing Moses and the Ten
Commandments must surely
have come from God. I believe
there is a Gcd who inspires me.
After I got the idea I went to
the library and studied pictures
and afttr all that I still came
away with my own feelings.
What I do comes from my mind
ar.d htart. I've got to draw what
I feel."
The first large drawing Joe
did was ol the walled city of
Kothenberg which won second
prize in the Mount Sinai Hospi-
tal employees art show. He in-
tends to inter his drawing of
Moses in their next exhibit. The
new drawing is 33 inches long
and 25 inches wide and is a col-
orful testimony to Joe's rever-
ence for Judaism.
"I will soon be 60 years old but
I am not scared of anything. I
just want to keep on going, to
keep my mind occupied and con-
tinue with my art. I believe
strongly in the Jewish religion
and it inspires my drawing."
Joe finds life interesting from
many perspectives. He proudly
shows a pair of sterling boxing
gloves. "I won these in the Gold-
en Gloves match in 1929." he
says with a big smile and a glow
in his eyes. And another part of
his enthusiastic i>ersonality
makes him an avid fossil col-
lector.
This past year Joe got anoth-
er idta. How great it would be,
h. thought, if the image of Rob-
ert Kennedy were placed on a
medal of gold, the original to be
given to Mrs. Kennedy and rep-
licas made to be Sold to collec-
tors. He wrote to Congressman
Claude Pepper and received an
enthusiastic response. Joe's idea
has now become Bill HR10977
as drafted by the congressman
who recommended that the
House Banking Committee ap-
propriate $3,000 to carry out the
nil a.
"I wanted the original real
gold medal to be presented to
Mrs. Kennedy so she can show it
to her children. Robert Kennedy
was a fine American."
So is Joe Blumenthal.
