Years of Birthdays,
Anniversaries and Family
RACHEL KURLAND | JE STAFF
There are 525,600 minutes in a year.
Throughout their marriage, Norman
and Eleanor Rothstein have shared
more than 39 million minutes together.
That’s 76 years — or a combined
200 years of life.
The couple celebrated their 76th wedding anniversary in August.
Norman turns 100 on Dec. 18, and Eleanor will blow out her 100
candles (well, figuratively) on April 18, 2017.
The Rothsteins were born and raised in Philadelphia and have
two daughters, three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Granddaughter Renee Rubenstein said the family is incredibly
close. Sometimes they joke, “Wouldn’t it be funny if after all this
time you got divorced?”
Let’s Start at the Very Beginning
Norman was friendly with Eleanor’s brother at Temple University
and became close with her through him.
“It didn’t take me long to realize she’s the kind of girl that I was
interested in,” Norman recalled. “And within a month or so, we
understood each other.”
