Ever wonder where I conjured up the name Zhychick?, well here it is....
On or about 1960 my grandparents Harry & Jennie Lerman moved from Bensonhusrt Brooklyn to a city project in Brownsville Brooklyn into a bldg. primarily for senor citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Zhychick ( real names) had already been there for several months prior to my grandparents arrival. The Zhychicks had many friends ,and all of them used to hang out in Zhychicks appartment. for some reason unbeknown to me my grandparents didn't care for the Zhychicks and started to invited the all the senor citizens that once congregated in Zhychicks apartment to his , but without Mr. & Mrs. Zhychick. this infuriated Old man Zhychick and he made a call to the housing authority saying he sees many men and women constantly going in and out of Harry Lermans flat, and he believes that they are running a whoahouse, (Brooklyn pronunciation (meaning brothel) in there. The Housing Authority sent the police to my Grandparents flat only to see elderly foreign Jewish people singing and having coffee, Zhychick was now prosona non Grata among all the senor citizens. I remember the shouting matches between Mr. Zhickick and my Grandfather .Pimpavota (pimp)Nafka cordvva ( whoa) Zhychick would scream in Yiddish at the top of his lungs every time he saw my grandparents , well that's the story of the name Zhychick . I really don't know why I chose that name for one of my character other than I found the name amusing ..end
