Poetic Obituaries: When interviewed by the Alpena News

on the event of his 90th birthday, he [Sidney Nadolsky] was asked to reveal his secret to longevity and vitality. He quipped, "Pick your parents right."

Always an independent thinker with a profound commitment to social justice, he wrote a weekly topical poem (calling it "doggerel") for the Presque Isle County Advance and contributed generously to various social causes that champion the poor and the disenfranchised.
