Because of the fact that this distinguished family. both the Frost family as well the Levy family and their immediate forebears. have played a very important role in the development of the district I have the honor of representing. the city of San Antonio. culturally. socially. economically. the names Frost. Cohen. and Levy are outstanding. In my own family. when my parents came from Mexico in the category of refugees. actually. and in the early dim years of my childhood. the earliest memory I have is accompanying my mother and my aunt to English and citizenship class intruction offered by the Jewish Federation of Women. the only organization anywhere that took any interest in trying to help the immigrant group. At that time the U.S. Immigration officials did everything they could to prevent people like my relatives from becoming citizens. The Frost family was in the forefront of the efforts of the San Antonio Federation of Jewish Women. who had their headquarters on Poplar Street and where English and citizenship instructions were imparted.
