Testimonial For Cohan

tribute to Leon S. Cohan,
president of the Jewish
Community Council, at a tes-
timonial dinner, rescheduled

Cohan, who graduated from
the Wayne State University

Detroit until his appointment
as an assistant attorney gen-
eral of the State of Michigan.
Promoted to deputy attorney
general, Cohan held that
position longer than anyone
in Michigan's history.
Cohan returned to Detroit
in 1973 when he accepted the
position of vice president and
general counsel of Detroit
Edison Co. He is the
president of the Jewish
Community Council.
Featured on the program
will be Philip Marcus Esser
and Barbara Bredius. Pro-
ceeds from the Leon S. Cohan
Testimonial Dinner will be

ditorium at Amal Vocational
