LISTENING
POST

WHEN DAVID AND
DOREEN Hermelin toss
an affair, it isn't news
anymore . . . so many words
have been written about
them, their parties and
sumptuous estate.
But few have a never-
before identity . . . Like the
recent one with Michigan
Cancer Foundation initiat-
ing its new Circle of Fellows
. . . Dave was at his usual
emcee best, overshadowing
everyone . . . including
actor Norman Fell, in town
to do a series of TV public
service commercials for
MCF . . . "It's tough follow-
ing someone like Dave
Hermelin," said Norman.
Harry Korman matched
whatever was raised this
evening . . . $50,000 .. .
Fred Yaffee was without
wife, Kathy . . . who did her
bit for the Lung Association
that same eve . . . judging a
beauty contest at Rooster-
tail . . . Iry Nusbaum looked
the most comfortable with-
out a tie . . . The Johnny
Trudell Top Brass six-piece
band was great.
Les Colburn never chang-
ing . . . still looking terrific
. . . Myron Steinberg a
suave gent . . . Brigette
Launce looking so very
beautiful as hubby Jimmy
tells of fishing every week
with Harold Sarko at
Harold's own lake . . . Un-
pretentious Doreen Herme-
lin the perfect hostess .. .
Marty Miller bemoaning

Wabeek.

nice Gershenson getting
third prize of three tennis
balls and a Moped . . . Bar-
bara Wiener winning 50
yards of indoor and outdoor
carpeting . . . Phil Minkin
winning a furry elephant.

portation and two tickets for
"Baby" on Broadway . . .
produced by Ivan Bloch .. .
and a luncheon cruise for 10
. . . Fathers and mothers
with picture of children -on
them won stuffed animals
... Grandparents with pic-
tures of grandchildren also
won.
Dave Hermelin sounded
like an auctioneer giving
them all away . . . and he's
good . . . so much so that
more than one person re-
marked, "He really made
this party!"

win thrown in for good
measure).
He is so proud of his Ti-
gers, Joe brought with him
from Fort Wayne as his
guests, son Daniel, office
manager Esther Grossman,
her son Jeff and operations
manager Joyce Osborne .. .

Detroit relatives to attend.

Street, and a stop at his be-
loved Cass Tech High.
