Harold N. ("Hal") Altman (1909-) was born in New York City and lived in
Sacramento, Calif. from 1950. A public relations consultant, he served on the

was an active member and historian of the Congregation B'nai Israel of
Sacramento. In 1960 he ran unsuccessfully for the Sacramento City Council.
Altman's papers include reports, corrrespondence, and miscellaneous
