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.

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.

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.
