Geraldine Epstein, of West
Bloomfield, died March 14.
She was 57.
Mrs. Epstein was a member
of 'Temple Israel and its sister-
hood, ORT, Hadassah and the
Detroit Institute of Arts
Founders Society. In 1959,
she co-founded the Allison
Personnel Service, Inc., which
recruited personnel for the in-
surance industry. She retired
in 1967.
She leaves her husband, Ir-
win; daughters, Nancy of
South Lyon, Lisa of Albuquer-
que, N.M.; brother, Dr.
Howard Glazer of Birming-
ham.
Mr. Stern, a Holocaust
survivor from Hungary, put
special emphasis in his
drawings on depicting the
"new Jew," a sabra, wearing
shorts, sandals and looking
tough.
But along with his popular
drawings, particularly for
children's books and the
press, Mr. Stern slowly
earned a place as a serious
painter whose work was
known worldwide. He was
also a teacher at the Bezalel
Arts Academy in Jerusalem.
Seven years ago, at the age
of 62, Mr. Stern made news
by coming out with the an-
nouncement that he was
homosexual.
"I was never in a closet,
and, therefore, I never came
out of it," he said. "I have
always treated the intimate
part of life discreetly. Who-
ever asked, I always told the
truth, but people didn't
ask."
Dubbed "the Painter of
Jerusalem" by Jerusalem
Mayor Teddy Kollek, Mr.
Stern spent many hours
painting the city he loved.
He would walk along the
streets and alleys, swallow-
ing the city in his mind, then
come home and record his
impressions on canvas.
