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:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partners job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“With my desire to write he seemed in full sympathy, and in urging our early marriage he argued that my first necessity was leisure in which to develop and to master my craft. It appeared to me that with such a man as teacher and guide I could not fail, and it was in a queer mixture of young love and vaulting ambition that I became a wife.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (18661948)
“Only one marriage I regret. I remember after I got that marriage license I went across from the license bureau to a bar for a drink. The bartender said, What will you have, sir? And I said, A glass of hemlock.”
—Ernest Hemingway (18991961)
