FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1990
642-6422
t was about 20 years ago
that he used to take the
mike at the former
Angel's Hour Glass on W.
McNichols and, like other
customers, would belt out a
song or two.
Unlike many folks who go
to Florida for retirement,
Mark Stern left the local
scene in 1974 . . . He and
Jackie, wife of 11 years, reside
in a beachfront Highland
Beach condo just north of
Boca Raton . . . with some of
the 43 units occupied by
former Detroiters Dr. Harold
and Ethel Pilskow, Herman
and Rose Rader (son Ronnie is
a Southfield attorney), Dr.
Leonard and Sylvia Haking
and Jerry and Fran Blake.
Rich and Sue Goldsmith
have a condo in the building
next to Mark and Jackie .. .
and his cousins, Dr. Sherwin
and Annette Lutz, are in
West Boca . . . Down the
street are good friends
Harvey and Liz Sosin.
While a localite here, Mark
was executive director of
Cong. Beth Achim and vice
president of the Greater
Detroit B'nai B'rith Council.
He used to sit in with all
the bands at Angel's Hour
Glass — Billy Rose, Lenny
Schick, etc. — and also work-
ed there as well as at King's
Arms, Scotch 'n Sirloin (when
Carl Steger needed time off),
Basin Street, Bourbon Street,
Verdi's and others . . . When
he moved to Florida, Mark
teamed up with a well-known
group and worked at
Bachelors III, the Sly Fox and
Le Fox International . . . He
started doing his television
hosting, midnight to 6 a.m.,
with "The Mark Allen Show"
emanating from these clubs.
In 1978, Mark started a
Jewish newspaper in Florida,
but couldn't give the time it
deserved . . . what with being
publisher of the South
Florida Review, which
became the area's number
one dining and entertain-
ment newspaper with reader-
ship of about 250,000 . . . his
TV show had become a talk
show with show biz folks ap-
pearing in the area, Johnny
Carson, Tony Bennett, etc.
Everything was going along
peaches and cream until this
February . . . That's when
Mark went out on the paper's
loading dock . . . The lights
were off and he slipped on a
puddle of hydraulic fluid from
a leaky fork lift truck, fell
backward and hit his head .. .
Result was injuries that have
laid him up.
Mark's exciting life will be
filled with much more emo-
tion when he recuperates and
someday returns to again
publish the South Florida
Review . . . and come to
Detroit to attend the 30-year
reunion of his 1963
graduating class in a couple
of years.
DOCK your diets for the
Young Variety Club of Detroit
on July 28 . . . That's when
the fine group has its Sunset
Cruise, 6 to 8:30_ p.m., and
Moonlight Cruise, 9 to 11
p.m., both out of Jefferson
Beach Marina . . . $30 each or
$50 for the two, with enough
hors d'oeuvres and desserts to
fill a battleship, plus dancing,
cash bar and knowing where
the money goes . . . to help
Variety Club, the Children's
Charity, in its great work for
the kids . . . Phone Nancy
Clark, 540-0096, or Susan
Shacket, 540-0611 . . . Reser-
vations are limited, so call by
this Monday.
Contributions are still being
accepted in his memory .. .

thday . . . celebrated with 30

Marilyn.

cept invite of Marvin Traub,
chairman of Bloomingdale's,
for recent cocktail party
honoring Linda Solomon as
she presented "Photographic
Profiles of Personalities" in
New York . . . Traub noted

recognized photojournalist
whose work, mostly of promi-
nent persons and news-
makers, has appeared in
many publications.
CONGRATS . . . to George
"Midgie" Rashken . . . on his
85th birthday.
JUNE 25, 1978, is a date
Richi Wasserman will long
remember . . . She got herself
a wide-eyed hole-in-one at
San Marino Golf Course in
Farmington . . . 12 years later
almost to the day, Richi
received another remem-
brance . . . Morry's wife aced
the 102-yard 12th hole at fam-
ed Inverray Golf and Country
Club in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.,
for her second hole-in-one.
