Marriage
In 1952, Solomon went on a “blind date” with Jay Solomon, a Tennessean, who was in Chicago for the Democratic Convention. Rosalind Fox and Jay Solomon attended the last night of the convention when Senator Estes Kefauver conceded to Governor Adlai Stevenson.
Within a year, Rosalind Fox and Jay Solomon married. She moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee where her husband worked in his family’s movie theater business. When he was 32, Jay Solomon was diagnosed with polycystic kidneys, a progressive, and, at that time, a fatal disease.

Famous quotes containing the word marriage:
“And what if my descendants lose the flower
Through natural declension of the soul,
Through too much business with the passing hour,
Through too much play, or marriage with a fool?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“From infancy, almost, the average girl is told that marriage is her ultimate goal; therefore her training and education must be directed toward that end. Like the mute beast fattened for slaughter, she is prepared for that.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Christianity as an organized religion has not always had a harmonious relationship with the family. Unlike Judaism, it kept almost no rituals that took place in private homes. The esteem that monasticism and priestly celibacy enjoyed implied a denigration of marriage and parenthood.”
—Beatrice Gottlieb, U.S. historian. The Family in the Western World from the Black Death to the Industrial Age, ch. 12, Oxford University Press (1993)
