ABOUT THE BENJAMINS

It all began for me on February 11,1947 At LongBeach Hospital In Long Island,N.Y.Patience was never,even from birth,my strong point,my mother said she had a bit of pain and there I was....First of 5 and only female to live.We lived in the West End of Long Beach where my grandfather Louis Benjamin was the town plumber.My parents had a boutique named Tweeds in the middle of town where my mother designed amazing clothing way ahead of her time and my folks traveled to Italy often to buy shoes and accessories for the shop. My dad started designing men's shoes for Florsheim and because of the way people in Italy handle business my dad decided we move there.also around this time my dad realizing that Italian shoe's were made for narrow Italian feet, he kinda revolutionized the industry by having the shoe's made on different lasts which are shapes to fit American feet. This is kinda where the main story starts.................In  1955 my self,Dana brothers Bryn and Dore,yea my mother had a thing about being different in every way and my parents Sam & Lynne moved to Italy.Of course as WE did not do ANYTHING like other people , we had our enormous Oldsmobile 88 which was aqua and white,shipped to the north of Italy and we flew out and a black friend of ours drove the car south with all of us in it.If you had ever driven through Italy in the 50ies you would know that many of the streets were too small for any car.  The different towns folks had never seen a car let alone a huge one like ours nor a black man so these kind sweet people would fill the village squares and gawk at the spectacle which was The Benjamins
