History / Biographical
Arnold Greenberg is the son of Charles and Bertha (Leibovitch), born in Ottawa May 16, 1922. He was educated at Lisgar Collegiate. He was a core member of the Maccabean Athletic Association. He left school before graduating to enlist in World War II. He trained as a wireless operator and made 28 bombing missions over Germany including Stuttgart, Hamburg, Essen and Nurenburg and later over France after the Normandy invasion. He flew in a four engine, Halifax bomber, Mark III. His station was located at Skipton-on-Swale, Yorkshire. It was called the Tiger Squadron, after the Hamilton Tigers Football Team. Subsequently he became an instructor, and returned home safely in 1945. Moe Kardish was also at Skipton-on-Swale as part of the ground crew. Arnold completed his high school education by taking special courses taught by University of Toronto professors on the university Campus. It was a War Veterans school and Arnold was paid $80.00 per month. He then returned to Ottawa and married Bertha Nathanson, daughter of Harry and Annie Nathanson, in March, 1945, and began a correspondence course for a chartered accountant from Queen’s University.
