- Item consists of a recording of Travel World. Zelda and Ron talk about the Catskills, a popular destination among Torontonians due to their proximity to the city. Ron describes the region as seasonal, traditionally popular during the summer and Passover, but recently also becoming a Christmas destination. He mentiones that most hotels have Passover programs, and the choice of hotel depends on how religious the traveller is. Zelda then compares her stays at the Concord when she was a teenager and when she was an adult, after her father's passing. She describes it as a "concrete jungle" and "too New York." Ron argues that every hotel is different and has different things to offer.

- Morton (Mort) Ainsley (1937-1995) was born in London, Ontario to Esther and Irving Ainsley. Esther (née Rash) was born in Toronto and Irving in Russia; the two met at Stitsky’s textile store on Bathurst Street in Toronto and moved to London in the 1940s. In London, Irving Ainsley owned Ainsley’s dress store and was a co-founder and president of B’nai Israel congregation. The family were friends with the Siskinds and Rubinoffs, going on fishing trips with the Rubinoffs and cruises with others in the Jewish community. Irving loved to film, and filmed Second World War newsreels in the movie theatre.
- Morton graduated from the University of Western Ontario School of Business Administration, and then the University of Toronto Law School in 1962. Following graduation, he worked at the Department of Justice and at Minden, Gross, Grafstein and Greenstein. In 1969, he and Sandra Gula were married at Beth Tzedec Synagogue.
