...And, I think, just a couple of years behind me, so we're in similar eras. Not so long after the Reform Movement (tm) decided that Israel was OK. I grew up in southern NY, right on the NJ border. I didn't know much Yiddish from my family itself, but from others in the area (and, being in the NY metro area, there were many others). My grandfather, by the way, was from London. Was born there in 1905; came over in 1906.
