Danny Raskin's LISTENING POST AN EXAMPLE of how bad the Detroit Lions foot- ball team is this year comes with the stark revelation of the difficulty in giving away tickets free to their games . . . Furniture man Phil Bradley gave me a couple, plus a Pontiac Silverdome parking pass . . . I couldn't go and nobody else wanted them for what would have been another wasted Sun- day afternoon . . . Memory is still clear when you couldn't beg, borrow or steal tickets to their games, and many fans would just about give their eye teeth away to see a game . . . Now Monte's (Coach Monte Clark's) Monotonous Menagerie is unbelievably bad . . . cer- tainly not worth the gas it takes to get to the Silver- dome . . . or even the time watching them go through the motions . . .- no matter how big a fan a person like myself is . . . of good foot- ball, that is . . . not the bungling type by this year's Detroit Lions. GET WELL WISHES . . . to CPA Sam Wilson, re- cuperating after open heart surgery at Henry Ford Hos- pital . . . to Dr. Sam Geren- dasy, recuperating at home. IVIADE A BIG boo boo on item about nephew Brian Gussin's recent Bar Mitzva . . . It's Great-Grandmother Minnie Raskin . . . not great aunt. ALMOST, A YEAR- AND-A-HALF away, but Oak Park High Reunion, June Class of 1976, to be held July 19, 1981, at Hyatt Regency in Dearborn, has big search on for lots of grads from about 550 ex cap 'n gowners . . . Call Debbie Weisberg, 855-1559. SMALL WORLD DEPT. . . . Had my ears cleaned at Henry Ford Hos- pital on Grand Blvd.. . . and the delicate handler of ear, nose and throat instru- ments was a pleasant sur- prise . . . Dr. Seth Cohen, here about eight years from Philadelphia, and the son of local cardiac specialist, Dr. Leonard Cohen, has been married two months to the daughter of old friends .. . Wife Jane, a medical technologist at Sinai Hospi- tal, is the daughter of Min- nie and the late Manny Hil- lander . . . Also, Seth and Jane are half-a-block-aWay neighbors. DID YOU KNOW .. . that favorite gal of yours has a particular flower of the month? . . . January, carnation; February, violet; March, jonquil; April, daisy; May, lily-of-the-valley; June, rose; July, larkspur; August, poppy; September, aster; October, cosmos; No- vember, chrysanthemum; and December, narcissus. LOOKING BACK ON Columns Of Yesteryears .. . DEC. 29,1961 . . "As of a few days before their big .1 day, the marriage of Bar- bara Silverman and Sher- win Harris was all but called off . . . She got the mumps . . . The entire bri- dal party had been told not to come to rehearsal, but the 250 invitees couldn't be con- tacted in time . . . However, when the doctor said the wedding could be held, the rehearsal went on and the couple were married at Cong. Beth Aaron, with or- chestra leader Sam Barnett announcing to the guests not to kiss the bride but to graciously shake her hand . . . Barbara is the daughter of Florence and Julius Sil- verman, and Sherwin the son of Milton and Estelle Harris." JAN. 5, 1962 . . . "Robert Taub, nine-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Taub, went with his fourth grade class at Vernor School and teacher Etta Weitzer to see Santa Claus at the school . . . When it came his turn, Robert asked Santa for a dreidel . . . The white- bearded gent furrowed his bushy eyebrows, took a deep swallow and said, "Next!" APRIL 13, 1962 . . . The devotion and service which Bernard "B.B." Bolton, grand chancellor of Michi- gan Knights of Pythias, has shown to the order wasn't forgotten by his own Detroit Lodge 55, whose recent tes- timonial dinner-dance for him was another in its way of giving flowers to the liv- ing." MAY 11, 1962 . . . "Defi- nition . . . by Dental Dr. Abe Pearlman . . . that an American city is a place where by the time you've finished paying for your home in the suburbs, the suburbs have moved 20 miles further out." AUG. 10, 1962 . . . "Here's a switch . . . When New York's Gov. Nelson Rockefeller spoke in Oak Park, he caught sight of El- liot Feldman furiously doing a caricature of him .. . He was so impressed by the likeness, he asked Elliot for HIS. autograph . . . Elliot is the 16-year-old son of Anne and Abe Feldman." FEB. 7, 1969 . . . "Norm Feder, council head in Southfield running for mayor, likes the one about the Jewish businessman who was persuaded to use a dictaphone on a trial basis, and if he liked it, he could buy it . . . The next day the dictaphone representative called at his office and asked him how the machine was . . . 'Well, I'll tell you,' said the customer, it ain't so bad but it talks with an awful accent.' . . . (Norm won the mayoral post and went on to become judge, a post he still holds in Southfield's 46th District Court.) Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
