Elsa Gideon was homesick for Villingen, but the Gideon family had a strong support group of other Jewish families who had fled Germany for New York. Every Saturday night they met for dinner together.

One of the memories Vern Gideon has of this time is of Luddy Klein, who ignited his love of stamps.
