locals and the Jews and
there was a teenage confron-
tation on the beach."
Yearly Charlevoix visitor
Chuckie Danto remembers
the incident. "There was a
fight on the beach, word
spread and the next day most
of the Jews left town."
Rosalyn Goldstick, a per-
manent Charlevoix resident
says there are probably bet-
ween five and ten year-round
Jewish residents in
Charlevoix. She and her hus-
band, Clarence, attend Tem-
ple B'nai Israel in Petoskey.
"Some of the summer Jewish
people in Charlevoix help

support our temple. It's in its
91st year."
Some people think that
Charlevoix is being
overdeveloped and over-
crowded. "You can hardly get
across the bridge," they say.
Some think it is losing its
casualness and catching up to
the larger cities.
But to true, devoted,
diehard fans, summer
without Charlevoix just
wouldn't be summer. ❑

says she is "delighted" about.
It was Iry Fidelman's
parents who in 1911 bought
the 80-acre farm about four
miles east of South Haven
which evolved into the resort.
"It served all of our social
needs," Sheila Fidelman em-
phasizes. "It was our way of
life."
Celebrities performed and
vacationed there. Some now-
famous names worked and
entertained at Fidelman's
when they were, as yet,
unknown. "In the '60s Loren-
zo Music (television producer
and the voice of Carlton the
Doorman on Rhoda) was a
bell hop. He waited tables, he
worked by the pool. He was
Jerry Music then."
Earlier, Arte Johnson of
TV's Laugh In worked at
Fidelman's. "It was an ex-
- citing time," she says with
feeling.

Despite the big names who
frequented the resort, one of
the family's favorite stories
concerns their activity direc-
tor, Tommy Lane, and a
group of Persian Jews who
were staying at the resort.
Barry Fidelman tells the
story with special
enthusiasm:
Once a week, the staff
would put on a talent night
which, under Tommy Lane's
guiding hand, eventually
became the Tommy Lane
Show starring, of course,
Tommy Lane. He was a
stickler for professionalism,
Barry recalls. Sporting a
blond toupe, he affected the
look and style of a Las Vegas
lounge entertainer. He
presented himself as the con-
summate performer who
could handle any audience
with skill and ease.
