At age 22 in 1932, he and his family came to Detroit, where he would meet his future wife. During his career, he worked for various printing houses and a number of publications, including the Polish Daily News, the Detroit News, Detroit Times and Detroit Mirror. Betty's father could read English and had owned a successful import-export business and a bath house. The family of 10 literally had dodged the bullets of the post-Russian Revolution to come to America in 1921, when Betty was 9 years old. Betty went to business school, learning secretarial work which she put to use for a brother-in-law at Brodes Department Store in Dearborn. She also vol- unteered to sell war bonds and knit afghans for wound- ed soldiers in the Second World War. What both Krokers de- veloped from these life expe- riences was a high degree of organization, which stood them well at JPM and, ultimately, in working toward their diplomas. Jack Kroker, for example, became president of the JPM senior adult council, organizing numerous trips for other seniors, and Betty became active in the choir. Both con- tributed hundreds of hours in volunteer work at JPM, for which they earned corn- munity service credit toward their diplomas. In fact, when Jack Kroker needed an official record of his work experience, he found a letter of recommen- dation from a Toronto employer who praised him for his skills and reliability in 1926. "What makes it so neat," said Joann M. Anderson, Ferndale coordinator of the adult-ed program, "is they are our first graduates. Sometimes that's what it takes to get the ball rolling, to get others in their age group interested in getting their diplomas. It becomes a little contagious, even though at their ages, it's only for personal satisfac- tion." The Krokers' warmth to others — not necessarily a requirement for a diploma — has endeared them to those at JPM. "They are a special kind of people who do not do things for recognition, but because they like doing them," said Diane Sands, JPM senior adult program director. "They always had a hug and a kiss for their teacher," said Linda Kayes. "And they always have respect for each other. They always looked at each other with pride." The Krokers, who met at a bridge game at the Chinese Tea Garden on Woodward and eloped a few months later, reared two daughters, RoseAnn Rubenstein and Carolyn Bloom. The daughters teased Jack last week over taking mother to the prom, and Carolyn joked she was now saving money for her parents' college tui- tion. The Krokers will be join- ing RoseAnn and her hus- band in Palm Springs, Calif., where they will be moving this year. "We will feel a great loss," said Sandweiss at a special program in the Krokers' honor at JPM. "They know how to be friends, they know how to be caring. And Betty gives very special hugs." Then Sandweiss presented them with a special cer- tificate from the Center honoring them for their ac- complishment. "It was no effort on our part," Betty Kroker said. "But we'll be back. We'll come on vacations here." ❑ Senior Men Set Meeting Southfield Senior Men's Club will hold their installa- tion luncheon meeting 12:30 p.m. June 20 at McDonnell Senior Adult Center.
