Detroit businessman, civic and

Medal, it has been announced by
Max M. Fisher, general chairman
of the United Jewish Appeal, who
is serving as dinner chairman.
The dinner tribute and concert
is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Dec.

attendance is expected, headed
by a distinguished representative
of the Prime Minister of Israel and
by outstanding civic, religious,
business and communal leaders
of Detroit and Michigan.
Following a sensational debut at
New York's Metropolitan Opera
House almost 22 years ago, Tucker
has made some 500 appearances
with the Metropolitan at its home
theater and on tour, and has
sung 27 leading roles of the tenor
repertoire.
Originally, his vocal training
was not aimed at an operatic
career, but rather toward be-
coming a cantor, or musical
minister of his faith. His goal
was soon achieved and he had,
in fact, reached one of Conserva-
tive Judaism's top cantorial
posts, at the Brooklyn Jewish
Center, when Paul Althouse, the
celebrated Metropolitan Opera
Vice President Hubert H. Hum-
phrey, Foreign Minister of Israel
