They had no job offers and no clue where the trip would end.Crammed with all they owned, the car lagged and broke down many times, starting when it dragged itself across the George Washington Bridge trying to reach New Jersey. It quit running in Pennsylvania, was towed into Maryland, and was repaired in Tennessee, Texas, and New Mexico.In Tucson, Arizona, a court commissioner suggested that if they weren’t ready to retire and weren’t asthmatic, they should head to Phoenix, which they did. Liking what they saw, they found an inexpensive apartment and settled in.They raised their two sons Joe and Rich while Ron practiced law and Rebecca became a marriage and family counselor, earning recognition for her expertise in helping people in bereavement. They moved a few miles west to Scottsdale in 1990.You can contact Ron Rubin at ronrubin38@gmail.com.view less
