Perlman, was master of ceremonies at the birthday dinner held at Cong. Shaarey Zedek on Dec. 7. Arranged by the Milgram family, honors also were extended to Cooper's wife, Fanny, with added cheers for their 46-year marriage. Louis Milgram led a fam- ily choir in a musical trib- ute, "I Am an Ordinary Man," to the celebrant. There were songs with the children and grandchil- dren participating, and the acclaim was for the four- decade title of "Papa" with which Cooper is greeted by the family. The address by Cooper's brother, Rabbi Samuel Cooper who recently retired from his 51-year congrega- tional post in Charleston, W. Va., was of special inter- est. Rabbi Cooper came here from Miami Beach, Fla., to participate in the event. The party attendees in- cluded a bus-load of rela- tives from Toronto. Greeting Cooper in addi- tion to members of the fam- ily, with emphasis on the grandchildren, were Rabbi Irwin Groner, Cantors Chaim Najman and Sidney Rube, David Hermelin and Leonard Herman. A musi- cal greeting by Phyllis Newman was an added pro- gram feature. Meyer Cooper was born in Poland and set- tled with his family in To- ronto. He came to the United States before World War I. He served in the Canadian army dur- ing World War I and was sent to Siberia with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. In addition to the move- ments honoring him with citations at the Hanuka birthday dinner, Cooper is an Hadassah Associate, is a MEYER COOPER member of Shaarey. Zedek and Bnai Israel-Beth Yehuda, has been active in Knights of Pythias, has roles in Technion Society, Zionist Organization of America and is a past life member of Jericho Lodge IOOF.. He served as president of the Hebrew Memorial Society. The nonagenarian's re- sponse was a resume of fam- ily experiences, devotions and loyalties, his rededica- tion to faith, to the syna- gogue, and to Jewish Zionist causes.
