"By the end of senior year you could have made soup out of that tie," Fineberg says.
Fineberg called his family every Sunday night all through college, went to all the football games ("more people did that in those days," Rose says) and always had time to hang out with his roommates.
According to Rose, everyone wanted to room with Fineberg.
"And I won," he adds.
Harvey was a fun, warm and generous roommate, Rose says, adding that he also inspired tremendous respect. One benefit of sharing Harvey's quarters was the regular shipment of his grandmother's cookies. ("Fabulous," Rose remembers.)
Another was his organizational skills. Fineberg kept a debt sheet on the door ("as a presage for him doing the University finances," Rose jokes) so everyone was always clear on who owed what to whom.
