Galloway, N.J. 鈥 Howard Rosenberg spent a lot of time in his parents鈥 small grocery store on the corner of Rhode Island and Melrose Avenue in Atlantic City.

鈥淚 grew up working in the store,鈥 Rosenberg said. 鈥淧eople who shopped there (in the 1950s and 鈥60s) didn鈥檛 have cars. It was a neighborhood store.鈥

leroy rosenberg Rosenberg鈥檚 Market, originally founded by Howard鈥檚 grandfather, Max, in the early 1900s, no longer exists. But, Howard said one of the lessons his parents, Leroy and Henrietta, taught him was the importance of education.

Howard and his wife Ann (Greenbaum) Rosenberg, who now live in Toledo, Ohio, recently endowed $25,000 to create the Leroy and Henrietta Rosenberg Memorial Scholarship at 淫性视频 to help Atlantic City High School graduates attending 淫性视频 pay for their educations.

This is the second scholarship the couple has endowed at 淫性视频. Last year, the Rosenbergs created a scholarship in Holocaust studies at 淫性视频 in memory of Ann鈥檚 parents, Jadzia and David Greenbaum, both Holocaust survivors who later settled in South Jersey.

When the couple was thinking about how to remember Howard鈥檚 parents, their focus on education and memories of Atlantic City High School inspired their decision.

鈥淏oth of my parents were Atlantic City High School graduates. Ann and I were also, so we thought why not do something to support other Atlantic City High graduates at 淫性视频,鈥 Howard said.

Leroy served in the Army during World War II and Henrietta worked as a welder in the Baltimore Ship Yards. Following the war they had two children, Howard and Ethel. In the 1950s, Leroy and Henrietta took over the running of the grocery store, with Leroy typically stationed in the back at the meat counter and Henrietta in the front as the cashier. They retired in 1973 after years of working six long days every week.

Howard said their goal in endowing the scholarships is not just to memorialize their parents, but also to help a new generation.

鈥淲e hope what we did might inspire others to create scholarships as well,鈥 Howard said.

Daniel Nugent, 淫性视频 chief development officer and executive director of the 淫性视频 Foundation, said the generosity of the Rosenbergs is greatly appreciated by the Foundation members and the students, who learn about the donors from the scholarships they receive.

鈥淭hese scholarships are testaments to both the past and the future,鈥 Nugent said.
