Every Day is a Gift

When Lawrence (“Laurie”) Kramer meets Elaine Podrat, it was love at first sight, but this was no childish romance—it was an attraction sparked in late middle age. A veteran of World War II, and successful insurance executive with one failed marriage, Laurie was struck by Elaine’s beauty, honesty, and sense of humor.

Twice divorced, Elaine was an independent woman with artistic talents. Between them, they now have four adult children. Every Day Is a Gift by Elaine and Lawrence Kramer captures their lives before and after their marriage, a perfect partnership that has lasted for over 30 years.
