Herbert and Rhoda (Kottler) Gralnick celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary at a family dinner on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2010 – exactly 50 years to the day that they were married at Shaare Zedek by Rabbi Ephraim Epstein (z”l).

The couple began dating while students at Washington University.  Both are artists and retired educators, who have lived in University City for more than 40 years. All of their children reside in St. Louis as well; eldest daughter, Michelle, is CEO of M Gralnick Enterprises, LLC; middle child, Leslie, is a Senior Training Specialist with Scottrade, Inc.; and son, Marshall, is a Dairy and Frozen Foods Manager for Schnucks.  The light of everyone’s lives is Leslie’s daughter, Hannah Rose, the only grandchild.
