He worked as a bellhop at Kutshers Country Club, a Jewish resort in the Catskill Mountains. By day he was making $2 an hour and getting great tips from the awestruck guests as he lifted their luggage through a second floor window while standing outside on the ground. At night, he played on the Kutshers basketball team and was coached hard by the resort’s athletic director, the soon-to-be legendary Red Auerbach. Watermarks WATERMARKS is the story of the champion women swimmers of the legendary Jewish sports club, Hakoah Vienna.
