Special Sale of
living in Detroit in behalf of
the less affluent, was
eloquent in his praise of the
honoree.
In all aspects of the eve-
ning's program, introducing
the many NCCJ and gov-
ernment leaders, Ford drew
upon community experi-
ences to link the Fisher
name with the achieve-
ments of the past decades.
With Charles Benham,
regional director of the
NCCJ, Governor William
Milliken, Mayor Coleman
Young and Alan Schwartz,
president of the NCCJ De-
troit Round Table who made
the presentation of the
award to Fisher, Ford re-
counted the unselfish serv-
ices rendered by Fisher in
advancing human needs.
The event also was occa-
sion to honor three retiring
officers of the Detroit Round
Table — Leonard N. Si-
mons, who served as secre-
tary of the Detroit Round
Table, Judge Joseph
Moynihan and Walker
Cisler, the retiring co-
chairmen. Citations recog-
nizing Simons and Cisler
who were present and Judge
Moynihan in absentia were
presented by Charles, Be-
nham, who reviewed the
roles of the three in the good
will and brotherhood
movement here. The three
who were thus cited were
elevated to honorary
chairmanships of the DRT.
Ford, who emphasized the
national as well as Michi-
gan role of the Fisher record
of creativity, utilized the oc-
casion to introduce Marjorie
— Mrs. Max Fisher — and
four of their children who
were present at the event,
Jane Sherman, Mary, Julie
Cummings and Philip.
It was a "saga of Detroit"
