“I started Smith Alder fine clothing when I was 46 and Jess was almost 13. She worked on Saturdays for a long time and, after college, came to work full-time for several years. I have always considered her my partner and best friend. And I always will…even though she is off on new adventures now, starting her family and perhaps a new career. She is still doing the buying with me, though! She’s amazing. And so is my beautiful grandson, Alex. Maybe he will be into fashion.:-)”
“Sometimes in the morning I have a thought and after a few hours at the store, my mom will bring the same thought up!She is the best of the best of moms”!
To the woman who has taught me everything about life, love, family and business, my Mom, Lorna Cohen. I hope I have taught my daughter, Shira Weiss half of what you have given me.
