in seymour an introduction, buddy says seymour was half-jewish(p. 131) and
that their great-grandfather was jewish(p. 144).. so the glasses are
half-jewish and half-catholic..
also, in 'a girl i knew', the girl he knew was jewish(i don't remember their
names:) )

So why the "so there"? Seems like a bit of a non sequitur.
I don't recall if any of Salinger's characters were Jewish, tho. For
some reason I thought the Glass family was too, but I can't recall any
particular reason for thinking that and a lot of reasons not to think
so...
