In 1920, women were voting for the first time, Prohibition was in full swing, the “Lost Generation” of American expatriates were transforming the literary world, and George Klein came into the world. He is now 100 years old, and he’s feeling fine.

The former long-time Livingston resident (who currently lives just over the border in Roseland) was born in Newark on February 11, 1920.

His parents, who were born in New York City to German immigrants, bought a house on 12th street in Newark. There they raised ten children, of whom George was the youngest.
