Jan Longone (born Janice Bluestein on July 31, 1933, in Boston, MA) is Curator of American Culinary History at Special Collections, Hatcher Library, University of Michigan. Julia Child, James Beard, and ''New York Times'' food editor Craig Claiborne were all early fans of Longone’s out-of-print cookbook collection.〔"(Foodies With A Memory: Ann Arbor's Culinary Historians )" at ''Concentrate'' (18 July 2012)〕 Their enthusiasm prompted her to create The Wine and Food Library in 1972, which offers books by mail order or private appointment and remains one of the most important antiquarian culinary resources in the world. ==Personal life== The second of three children, Longone was born to Alexander and Edith Gropman Bluestein, both Eastern European immigrants. She grew up in a six-family tenement house in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester. Her father was a kitchen equipment salesman, her mother a homemaker. She recalls lively family dinners when her father would quiz the children over traditional Jewish dishes like gefilte fish and stuffed cabbage rolls.〔Steve Friess, "(Cookbook Collector Savors Recipes for Living in Michigan )" in ''Forward'' (28 January 2015)〕 Longone was the first in her family to attend college, enrolling in Bridgewater State Teacher’s College (now Bridgewater State University). She earned a bachelor's degree in history in 1954 and later did graduate work at Cornell University, where she completed coursework toward a Ph.D. in Chinese history. After graduating from college, Longone married her childhood sweetheart, Daniel T. (Dan) Longone, whom she had met as a teenager during summers spent swimming at Revere Beach near Boston.〔Joel Goldberg, "(Dan Longone's Grape Expectations at the Clements )" in ''Ann Arbor Chronicle'' (2 May 2009)〕 In 1959 the Longones moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where Dan had received an appointment in the University of Michigan's Department of Chemistry. He retired as Professor of Organic Chemistry in 1988. The couple was active in Democratic politics. Jan Longone worked on the congressional campaign of Wes Vivian, one of the so-called “Five Fluke Freshmen” who won congressional seats in the Democratic landslide election of 1964. Longone subsequently became District Representative for Michigan’s Second Congressional District. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jan Longone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
