Schreter: Store Years and Time Period

schreter: Schreter and his family, particularly the youngest among them, can all speak French, Quebec's only official language, according to CTV. People's education was disrupted by WW2, said Schreter, whose father, a Jew from Romania, moved to Montreal in 1948 and eventually bought the store 10 years later from his first cousin, Joseph. Steve Schreter's clothing store -- opened by a relative in 1928 -- is one of the few from that time period remaining on the city's famous strip. They weren't educated -- in that sense. They managed to learn French well enough to do their business. They had street smarts, they had entrepreneurial skills. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
