March 2002 Lolita Grabb  "Growing Up In Cuba's Jewish Community" A life in a page: Lolita Grabb, born in Oriente (Cuba's most Eastern province). Second daughter born to Emma and Julio Lipsitz who emigrated to Cuba from Utenah, Lithuania in the early 1920s. The family moved to Havana shortly after my birth, so all my childhood, upbringing, and schooling took place in Havana. Came to the United States for a college education and after completing my undergraduate work, returned to Cuba where I married my husband, Dr. Samuel J. Grabb, in 1952. Our two oldest sons, Albert and Robert were born in Cuba in 1955 and 1956. In 1957 my husband's professional aims, not political reasons, brought us to the United States for what was to be a three year stay. This temporary stay would become permanent after the political debacle in Cuba and Castro's rise to power. In 1962 we moved to Tucson, Arizona, where my husband practiced Urology; first at the Veterans Administration Hospital, and then in private practice, which he did for over thirty years. Our son Jimmy was born in Tucson in 1964. I completed both my undergraduate and graduate studies in this country. I have taught, served as a court interpreter, and in 1992 Little, Brown and Co. published and EnglishSpanish, Spanish-English bilingual dictionary that a wrote in collaboration with my co-author, Dr. Onyria Mc.Elroy.
