Abstract

Michael Ira Posner (MP) was born in the city of Cincinnati (Ohio, United States) on September 12, 1936, during the last stage of the Great Depression. When he was two months old, his family moved to San Bernardino, California, where his father, Philip, first worked for the defense industry during the years of World War II, and then as a social worker with the Jewish community. His mother, Rose, was primarily a housewife, but she also sold shoes on weekends. The people who most influenced MP during her childhood were her father and brother Jerome (JP). The first, for his extraordinary dedication to helping others, which was always a powerful example throughout MP's life. The second, because he was his permanent guide throughout his personal life and professional career. (NdEd: Continued, first paragraph is transcribed as Summary).
