The second home, his next-door neighbor, was owned by Ed Grafton, owner of the Grafton Stock Car Racing Team. His garage was full of tools and parts for his business. There were many nights that Dr. Kramer could see him under one of his “babies,” working on one tweak or another in an attempt to gain just a bit more torque or speed.

Finally, Dr. Kramer stopped in front of his home. Sitting on ten acres, the multi-building homestead was his dream come true. Raised on a farm in West Virginia, Kramer never lost his taste for the rural life. He met his wife, who was a devout Jew, while attending the University of Florida. He converted to the religion, finding the process both strenuous and rewarding. One simply does not convert to Judaism like most religions allow; it is a long process that requires a full measure of commitment. To simply say you want to become Jewish and convert to the religion is not enough. This person who petitions the Jewish community to join them is called a brit, which indicates that he or she is a convert. To enter into a covenant with God and with the Jewish people, believing and doing is not enough. You need to become part of that people. So, in a sense, Kramer had to be accepted as one of their own. Not by his request, but by the community’s permission. Gaining that final acceptance made you a “ger,” which literally means someone who has come to live among a people to which he or she was not born. A naturalized alien.

Dr. Gerald R. Kramer sat for a minute, his emotions threatening to boil over, as he took in the beautiful sight before him. The wood-paneled façade gave his house a cabin-like appearance. Even the stone chimney spoke of the mountains of West Virginia. His wife fought him tooth and nail over this, eventually capitulating when he reminded her that they were in Central Florida to be near her now deceased parents. So although she wanted a more traditional country farmhouse, he got his mountain cabin look.

Their outbuilding, a combination of a horse stall and workroom, was sitting behind the house and to the right. Hugging his property line, the dark green steel building blended into the lush field before him. His daughter’s horse, a mare named Striker, roamed the pasture nearby. The family’s second horse was not visible, likely still in the barn. A small corral was attached to the back of the building, its swinging wooden door open. Their dog, a retriever named “Bud,” saw the old car as he started to pass through the gate. Not recognizing it, the protective animal charged forward from the backyard, barking and growling as he pulled up the driveway.
