Note:
Friendships among the children of Jewish immigrant families in Lewiston-Auburn were often strong and enduring. Philip Isaacson and Manny Plavin grew up in Lewiston, and their fathers, Harris Isaacson and Abraham Plavin, both worked on Lisbon Street. They attended Hebron Academy together, built their careers and raised their families in L-A, and remained lifelong friends. As this May 1942 note from Plavin to Isaacson shows, they also shared a wry sense of humor
