I was number 10 on my mother’s maternal line to be diagnosed with breast cancer. I knew I was high risk, so I was diligent in my screenings. What am I saying? You are your first line of defense. You must put yourself first and get screened; otherwise, if you have breast cancer, it will never be found. Throughout my journey, I learned that sometimes the treatment can be harder […]
Benjamin Franklin once said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” We think these are wise words that apply directly to disaster preparedness. As a small business that has flooded four times, being prepared has become a daily part of running our business. Many of you will recall a few weeks ago Houston was hit hard by Tropical Depression Imelda, causing record flooding. Imelda was a surprise to […]
I have tons of sweet memories of spending Rosh Hashanah with my family, but they aren’t exactly what you would think! My mom, Marion Goldsmith, would hold a big dinner and lunch for Rosh Hashanah with family and friends alike. I never missed one – no matter where I lived or what was going on. Even when it was the UN General Assembly and I was working at The Waldorf […]
I just listened to a podcast about the 25th anniversary of the movie “Philadelphia.” It moved me so very much and took me back to the 1980s in New York City. It was 1984, and I had just begun working my first “real” job at The Waldorf=Astoria. The lead Assistant Manager was a man named Michael, who was a wealth of knowledge and knew how to deal with any and […]

We, Bobby and Janice Jucker, co-owners of Three Brothers Bakery, have fought back after every disaster to befall our family owned bakery. We come from a history of survivorship – beginning with the founders’ liberation during the Holocaust. As many know, Hurricane Harvey brought four days of rain and over fifty inches of rainfall. It was a life changing storm. Harvey was our 4th flood, plus we survived and rebuilt […]
Mother, mom, mommy, or ma, no matter what you call her, she is traditionally the first adult in our lives who provides us with unconditional love and support. She works tirelessly to take care of us and guide us throughout our life helping us make the best decisions to become a successful adult. It is for these reasons that we honor all mothers in the U.S. on May 12-Mother’s Day. […]
In 1949, the first Polaroid camera was sold. The first Volkswagen Beetle was introduced in the United States and the NBA (National Basketball Association) was born. But there was a first of equal importance that same year, the opening of the Three Brothers Bakery here in Houston, Texas. This year the Space City’s most popular family-owned bakery is celebrating 70 years. Take a moment with us and look back at […]
