Hundreds more, who could
not be accommodated, ex-
pressed an interest in the af-
fair. Handler was referred
to by Nathaniel. Goldstick,
who was toastmaster, as "the
Pearl Mesta of Detroit," in
recognition of his ability to
gather so many people at one
party.
In the course of the evening,
Handler presented to Shapiro a
gift—a 30-day stay in Florida—
from the committee. Handler
thanked his 'co-workers for their
help, especially his co-chairman,
Joseph Cohen.
Governor Williams paid trib-
ute to Shapiro as "a great fel-
low whom we all respect and
admire." He referred to his
fine record in the police de-
partment and praised him for
his high qualities as a public
servant.
Former Police Commissioner
Don Leonard called Shapiro "an
