And so he had a lot of different jobs.

By the time I was born, he and my grandmother owned a restaurant in Derby, Connecticut, which was a mill town then.

And my father's family, my grandmother was Hungarian, and my grandfather was Czech.

And they were Libovits.

They were Libovits, although we did find out.

So, of course, my father had four siblings, and every one of them spelled their last name differently.

Because my grandmother, when she had these children, she had them with a midwife.

She didn't go to the hospital.

And the midwife wrote down a different spelling.

And of course, these guys, the three, you know, the men, they just kept these spellings.

They never said...

Look, we're brothers.

My father was in business with one of his brothers.

They spelled their name differently.

They met because my father...

My father's family moved from Brooklyn to Morristown, New Jersey, where I was born.

And my mother's family had lived there at one time.

They weren't living there at that time.

But my mother went to college near there.

My father had a friend who was going out with my mother's college roommate or something.
