Life story video of 102-year-old Beachwood man tells of Cleveland life in 1910s and 20s

102-year-old Beachwood man tells story of early life in 1920s Cleveland to Sunrise Sunset Documentaries.

Ruby Levine has seen a Cleveland with horse-drawn wagons, tough early years in a home with no electricity and an outhouse and leaving school in the afternoon to work and help support his family. The son of Polish-Jewish immigrants built a life where he played sports at Glenville High, married a beauty he met at a wedding he crashed with a friend, went on to start a vending machine company, and even entertained Frank Sinatra and Joel Grey. He told his life story to Natalie Bauman, owner of Sunrise Sunset Documentaries, a Cleveland-based personal documentary production company.
