I was happy to read that Mr. Meth was still up and around. And healthy at 102. I remember when he first came to work at Beth Shalom Synagogue at 34th and Paseo.{mprestriction ids="1,3"}In those days when someone asked you what synagogue you belonged to, you would just say “34th & Paseo.” Mr. Meth was only about five feet tall but he was nothing short of a human dynamo...always busy around the building. Though he was originally hired as janitor, he eventually worked his way into taking on other tasks such as being music director of the choir. And if memory serves, I believe he taught himself to play the violin. I remember he was always soft-spoken and was careful not to ever say anything that might hurt someone’s feelings. He was a kind man then, and I’m sure he’s a kind man now...which is probably one of the reasons he has lived such a long and happy life. May he live many more years. And be healthy.{/mprestriction}
