Surviving These Times

Oscar Schertzer knows a little bit about survival. A robust older gent with a twinkle in his eye, the author and entrepreneur survived the horrors of the Nazi occupation of France.(which he detailed as a 20 year old in what would become  his book"Under Swastica And French Flag") 

A deep thinker with a quick and incisive wit,he is someone who has seen so much, that it takes a lot to get his hackles up. So when a guy like that says to "watch out", my fight or flight instincts go into high gear!! 

I caught up with Oscar and his charming wife Estelle over cookies and coffee at the  Croton Baking For Change fundraiser . The sale, which was the third such event, raised incredible $1,142, and brought the total up to a little over $3600 to help get Barack Obama elected.
