Larry W. Freudenberg tells the story of his family starting with his great-great-great-great-grandfather, Abraham Isaacks who came to America in 1697 as an indentured servant and the fascinating tale of Larry's father and paternal grandparents who came to America in 1940 as refugees and survivors from the horrors of Hitler's Nazi Germany. His grandmother, a retired physical therapist is regarded as one of Charleston's most admired citizens. Larry is the fourth generation owner of Triest Agency in Charleston. Established in 1903 by Larry's great grandfather, Montague Triest (pictured second from the right on the cover), this company is one of the oldest surviving small businesses in the south.
