Pollard and Me

From one of my wife's posts:



Early on after Pollard had been jailed by the Americans, then MK Geula Cohen was among the first prominent Israelis to support him. My husband worked for her at the time and was sent to visit him in prison. They became friendly, and if Pollard had been released during that time, he very possibly would have had been our guest at a Passover Seder.

Actually, I started to coordinate the Pollard Knesset Lobby in 1987 and held the position until about 1995 or so.

I visited Jay twice.  Once in his Marion, Illinois jail in 1990 and again, in 1993, at Butner, North Carolina.
