He married Irene Jedrlinic in 1983. He remains a resident of the area, living in the house that he and his wife bought and renovated in 1986. In this interview he describes his life in the Colorado Apartment Building and his role in opposing the owners’ move to convert the rentals to coops. He describes the businesses, restaurants, and recreation facilities of the neighborhood and how they have changed, or in some cases, remained the same. He reflects on his exciting visit to the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fairs in [Flushing Meadows-Corona Park] when he was a teenager, traveling to Queens from Long Island. The interview touches on his family’s connection to Manhattan and the experience of living with elements of both an urban and a suburban lifestyle. Most important to Mr. Hirshon is his description of his marriage and family and his pride in having raised his son in a home filled with love, by two parents who fit each other like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e (general)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights Statement"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY-NC-SA Contact digitalarchives@queenslibrary.org for research and reproduction requests.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Source Metadata URI"]},"value":{"en":["http://digitalarchives.queenslibrary.org/search/browse/33707"]}},{"label":{"en":["Date"]},"value":{"en":["2017-09-23 (created)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Agent"]},"value":{"en":["Elliot Hirshon (Interviewee)","Alice Ostrowsky (Interviewer)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Coverage"]},"value":{"en":["Forest Hills and Rego Park, Queens, NY; Merrick, Long Island, NY (spatial)","1950-2017 (temporal)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["English (Primary)"]}}],"summary":{"en":["\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003eClip 1:\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background: white;\"\u003eElliot talks about the changes in the neighborhood of Queens Boulevard and Forest Hills.
