WHAT A WHALE of a time they must have had .. . as over 100 members of the Harry Cooper Family Club got together recently from across the country for a week- end at Ortonville's Camp Maas. Seventeen children born in the five years since the last reunion were welcomed with a special ceremony and given certificates officially includ- ing them in the family. Memories were recalled of the Cooper Drug Stores, fa- vorite meeting places in the early part of the century .. . Regardless of where in the country the members now live, all recalled growing up as active members of the De- troit Jewish community. One reunion highlight was a movie from the marriage of Marge Cooper to Jerry Rob- bins in 1949 . . . It was the first wedding ever held at the Northwest Hebrew Congre- gation, forerunner of today's Adat Shalom Synagogue, in its new building on Curtis and Santa Rosa . . . Also cele- brated was the 85th birthday of family matriarch Mollie Cooper . . . Her son, Judge Stephen Cooper, had his 49th birthday, while Steve and Caroline's son Michael Coop- er became 16. Rabbi Jeffrey Tigay's fam- ily arrived from around the country along with a surprise . . . Former Detroiter Beth Jones met Hillel Tigay in Cal- ifornia, and their engagement was announced . . . Jennie Tigay introduced her groom- to-be, Peter Meyerhoff, and Mitchell Harris presented his fiancee, Sandi Britton. The children of Freda Cooper and Ben Parker were a hit of the family talent show, as a song about the old Cooper Drug Stores was per- formed by Dr. Bruce Parker, Barbara Parker-Ratner and Harriet Cooper-Parker-Bass . Judy (Cooper) Hocher and Priscilla Dickman performed choreographed songs with their grandchildren. Fortunately, everyone was labeled, both with name badges and color-coded T- shirts to identify all family branches . . . This was espe- cially important when Steven T. Cooper's family arrived . . . saving confusion as to who was who . . . Steven T. (Dave Cooper's son and Marilyn's husband) and Judge Stephen C. (David L. Cooper's son and Caroline's husband) were thusly identified. Former State Senator Daniel S. Cooper's kids finally learned how they are all re- lated after viewing the 14- foot-long computer-printed family tree developed by Max Miller with Joe Firestone. When the Cooper family members get together it's usually fun time . . . Their weekend camp reunion was probably a blast. JUST PIERRE will be the musical presentation at eighth annual black-tie gala by Michigan Cancer Founda- tion's Angels, Oct. 16, at the Ritz-Carlton in Dearborn.
