Ruth Horowitz: Hello. My name is Ruth Horowitz. Some folks stumble over Horowitz. That's why when I say my name over the phone, I usually spell it. I learned to spell my last name from a funny record my parents had when I was little. (singing) H-O-R-O-W-I-T-Z spells Horowitz, Horowitz. I remember singing that to myself as I picked out the letters on my father's old typewriter.

I like the name Horowitz so much that I kept it when I got married. And when we had kids, we gave them the name Horowitz too.
