A grove of trees was dedicated recently at the Ken-
nedy Memorial in Israel in memory of the late Detroiter
Milton Goldberg. Participants In the ceremony included
(above) his widow, Mrs. Milton Goldberg, and Gad Baler,
assistant director of the American department of the
world headquarters of the Jewish National Fund in
Jerusalem. Baler officiated and offered the dedicatory
prayer. Also attending was a group of friends of the
Goldbergs. Mrs. Goldberg said the idea for the grove had
its inception with a Gentile, her husband's friend and busi-
ness partner, Armand DeCapito of the Bottle and Basket
Shop in Birmingham. Mrs. Gordberg said that "other
good friends aided his loving memory" with donations
toward the grove.
