Hour at the Ten Mile Jimmy
Prentis Jewish Community
Center is a very special event.
Bernard Luchten started this
entertainment for seniors 17
years ago. It has grown from
about 12 to 70 people through
his hard work and talents to
brighten up-the lives of these
seniors every Wednesday af-
ternoon at 1:30 p.m. to around
3 p.m. They forget their cares
for that exceptional hour and a
half.
"Alto Mamie Lawson sings
Hebrew, Yiddish, just about
belts everything imagineable.
For over ten years, she has vol-
unteered. She has been part of
a trio including her present ac-
companist Miriam Zacks. They
have performed for 30 years.
Mamie has sung with Danny
Thomas.
"I am a lyric soprano who in-
troduced musical comedy for
the seniors. I have also done a
lot of nursing home volunteer
work as well and performed for
many of the Jewish organiza-
tions. Bernard Luchten, Harry
Stein and many others call me
`the little singing canary.'
"I told friends about it. Soon,
Al Nemoff, Phyllis Bratt, Shir-
ley Belkin, Ruth Kravitz and
Ida Trachtenberg — a wonder-
ful Russian folk singer —
added to the afternoon's
enjoyment. Incredible Marlene
Feld has accompanied for years
also, picking up any music and
playing it.
"We have a violist, Sid
Mann, who has played with the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra,
Saul Begel, flutist, and Yit-
zhak Precupets, our accor-
dianist whose Russian soul de-
lights particularly in accom-
panying Ida Tractenberg.
"This variety provides a
wonderful afternoon. The love
and joy you feel in this room is
a very special thing. When you
reach out to others you experi-
ence so much personal growth
and pleasure. I care about my
seniors. When I'm responsible
through my music and love for
a smile on someone's face, my
day is a better one and my
world a happier one."
