dinner tribute.
Simons is being honored in rec-
ognition of his many services to
Jewish and civic causes and his
staunch support of Israel through
the United Jewish Appeal and
the Hebrew- University, causes he
aided as a local chairman.
Mrs. Simons, in her own right,
stems from a family that pioneered
in Zionist efforts in Detroit. Her
father, the late Max Lieberman,
was a staunch supporter of the
Tewish National Fund and was one
of the early Detroit Zionists. He
was an active Shaarey Zedek
leader, served many social service
causes and was especially inter-
ested in the needs of the elderly.
Mrs. Simons' brother, Sam Lieber-
man, is a former president of the
Period Settings Accent New Home
of Gorman's Gallery of Fine Furniture
From Mark Twain's daughter's
dining room to an authentic Span-
ish pavilion, -furniture fashion,
taste and fabric are presented in
120 varied settings at the new Gor-
man's Gallery of Fine Furniture
on Telegraph Rd., north of 12 Mile
Rd., in Southfield.
The Williamsburg-Styled gallery,
which recently opened, presents
living room, den and dining room
furnishings, carpeting and drapes
and unusual accessories in its 26,-
000 square feet of display area.
Bernard Moray, Gorman's Gal-
lery president, and his staff, have
created a huge living room — din-
ing room exhibit, presenting the
wares of more thaii 100 top
American and international design-
ers in room groupings.
Basically, Gorman's Gallery
will cater to four broad cate-
gories of furniture design: Span-
ish, English, Modern and Medi-
terranean. But wide offerings in
design, fabric development and
color treatments leave much
room for individual tastes.
From the now-destroyed Detroit
residence of Twain's daughter,
Mrs. Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Moray
has taken and restored the entire
original paneled dining room and
placed it in the gallery.
He will keep this authentic, his-
tory-rich room on permanent dis-
play, featuring a changing series
of furnishings of the period.
Near the Twain roam, gallery
designers have built on the display
floor a three-room suite; dining
room, den and living room, for
the presentation of contemporary
trends in American home furnish-
ing.
A third re-creation is a Span-
ish Pavilion which will feature
imported items from the modern
Spanish manufacturers as well
as antiques and some exception-
ally fine and limited produc-
tions of Spain's "artesanos,"
"Me an anti-Semite ... ridiculous! I hate every-
honoring the recipients of the
hand-fashioned creations made
according to centuries-old de-
signs by small groups of villagers
in remote hamlets of the Iberian
peninsula.
