Walter in the Reserve

1943, December 31. New Year's Party, "Club Havana".

Rumson, N.J. house "on the Shrewsbury".

Grace Tepper would have been two months' pregnant with Alice, because she was due in July (she was a few weeks late arriving).

The program posts a humorous price list and menu. The price list includes "Napoleon Brandy" with the price: "You should live so long." 

I take that to mean that the drink in question is too expensive to be served on this occasion, or more likely just unavailable.

Vichy France under German occupation was of course not producing previous levels of cognac.

• We know now that farm production fell by half during WW II. Millions of French workers and POWs were forcibly taken to work in German factories. Fuel and fertilizer was scarce and expensive.
• Of the halved farm production, the Nazis took half the meat and one-fourth of the rest.
• The French consumer was faced with soaring prices.

1948? Walter Tepper chaired the local UJA fund drive in northeastern New Jersey for the year.

1949. Walter Tepper went fishing in Acapulco.
