Edward Mendlowitz, CPA/PFS, ABV
It was 90 years ago that my father started his first job in public accounting. When he died in 1976, I took over his practice. That is a 90-year continuity in one family. My father worked for his older brother, who was a CPA, and another brother was a CPA. When my father became certified in 1938, he opened his own practice. I became certified in 1967 and my daughter-in-law became certified in 2003, so there are three generations of CPAs in the Mendlowitz family. I was also a student of one of my father's professors when I attended City College of New York. John J. W. Neuner taught the same cost accounting course, which not only hadn't changed much when I took it—it also hasn't changed much to this day.
