- Joe Viner
- History / Biographical
- Joe Viner was born in Ottawa November 30, 1925. His paternal grandparents came to Ottawa from Russia with eight of their children in 1913. Joe Viner's mother (Clara Halpern) was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her parents came from the Austria/Hungary area and immigrated first to Winnipeg and then moved to Ottawa to open a Kosher butcher shop. Joe's father owned a grocery store at Booth and Primrose (225 Booth Street) during the depression. He always had enough to eat because of the store which sold fruit and vegetables. He also peddled fruit and vegetables in Aylmer, Quebec and bought junk within a 60 mile radius of Ottawa and sold it to various local junk dealers. He has memories of going to school and doing homework while watching the store in the evenings. Sundays were the times he played softball with the Jewish boys in the West End, or went by streetcar to the A.Z.A. meetings. During the summer holidays, he used to help his father in the truck when they went to Aylmer to collect scrap for resale. Joe Viner joined the A.Z.A. at age 14. He recalls Irving Aaron, Harry Weltman, Harry Cogan, Joe Osterer, Chick Taylor, Jack Cooper, Syd Kronick, David Loeb, John Greenberg, Willie Zelnick, Jake Cranzberg, Dave Edelson, Seymour Klein, Ezra Cohen who were also members of this B'nai B'rith organization. They held the meetings at the old Talmud Torah building on George Street and had advisors like the late Syd Slover (killed in the Second World War) and the late Justice Honourable Abraham H. Lieff. Joe Viner wanted to be in the air force as part of the air crew. When he joined early in 1944, the only air crew training available was for tail gunners, so that was his only option. Joe completed his basic training in Toronto and then went to Assiniboia, Saskatchewan for initial training as tail gunner. Training was suspended for tail gunners because there were not enough planes. As a trained stenographer and typist, he was put to work in the office and hospital until he was sent back to Ottawa and discharged. Joe went back to high school and obtained enough credits within 6 months to enter Queen's University in the fall of 1945. He graduated from Queen's with a Bachelor of Commerce in 1948 and went to New York to become a retail executive trainee. He spent 3 years in New York and came back to marry Ruth Macy on March 11, 1951 at Agudath Israel Synagogue in Ottawa. They spent their honeymoon in Montreal getting a visa for Ruth to live in the U.S.A. Two weeks after getting back to New York, Joe received a draft call for the Korean War. With advice from the Canadian embassy the Viner's returned to Canada and a deferment was granted. Joe then obtained an executive position with Freiman's where he stayed until 1965 when he entered the real-estate business. In 1969, he started Levinson-Viner Ltd. with Jacie Levinson. He retired in 1996.

- Don Snipper
- History / Biographical
- Don Snipper was born December 4, 1915, the son of Louise (Shapira) and Alfred Snipper. He was president of A.Z.A. at one time. He trained in St. Hubert and went overseas to Bournmouth in April of 1944. Even though he didn't like heights, he disliked water even more, so he chose the air force over the navy. He worked in photo reconnaissance during the war, but afterwards he did not fly or continue in photography. Instead, he studied law and eventually practised in Ottawa under Sam Berger. He died in 1999.
