Jewish Press humor columnistArnold Fine (January 15, 1924[1] – September 5, 2014) was an editor and columnist, known for editing The Jewish Press[2] and a humor columnist.
"[3][4] For decades his writings, which included a companion feature titled "A Bi Gezunt," were on the back page, and subsequently on the inside of the back page.
Going beyond his "Who invented the telephone" (including how many decades it took for the US and UK Patent offices to decide), he tackled topics such as After his military service during World War II, he did news photography for small NYC newspapers and went to college at night.
[9] Following his baccalaureate and a master's degree in education, he became a Special Ed teacher for the NYC school system, working with brain-injured children.
The series, described as "chronicling Jewish life in New York City in the 1930s and 1940s,"[9] was introduced in the mid-1960s, and was said to be[10] "timeless" and transmitting "warmth and nostalgia.” The Jewish Press said they'll reprint Fine's writings.
