Living in Boston now, Fern
had asked Norman to find her
biological mother, Shirley Ann
(Krause) Santog, longtime B'nai
B'rith member in Oak Park,
who was only 15 years old when
she gave birth for the first time
. . . While a child, Debbie was
told that her sister passed on
three days after birth . . . How-
ever, the baby had been adopt-
ed by Jean and Morris Drooker,
Norman's late aunt and uncle
who moved from here to Boston.
After searching The Jewish
News files and other resources,
Norman called Fern to tell her
that Shirley passed away about
10 years ago ... but that he had
found Fern a new family.
That's when she called Deb-
bie and said, "I think we are re-
lated" and came here for the
memorable meeting.
Fern is no longer alone .. .
She now not only has a sister,
Debbie ... but also three broth-
ers, Howard and John Santog
of Oak Park, and Ted Santog in
Florida.

"HAVE YOU ever heard of
a kosher cheeseburger?" writes
Rabbi Jack Goldman. "Never!
How about a kosher pepperoni
pizza? Impossible! But soon
they will be realities! There are
already veal cutlets, stuffed cab-
bage filled with meat, chicken
chow mein, Hawaiian meat-
balls, and dozens of meat en-
trees, all of which contain no
meat — and never came from a
living animal.
"All are kosher and pareve,
and certified by the Metropoli-
tan Kashruth Council.
"How did this come about?
Brilliant culinary art combined
with business acumen, brought
together by Marty and Sandy
Benson of American Kosher
Gourmet in West Bloomfield
(Orchard Lake Road, south of
Maple Road) and Mitch Benson
of American Bulk Food, also in
the West Bloomfield Plaza,
have created a revolution in
kosher gourmet foods.
"Anything you want (almost).
Your favorite meat dish with all
the trimmings (kugel, knishes,
salads); every kind of gourmet
delights in the fleishig category,
made entirely from vegetable

sources, kosher and pareve.
"The Bensons challenge any-
one to try their 'meat' dishes
and compare them to the real
thing. No fat, no cholesterol,
very low on calories, and ab-
solutely divine in taste! Is this
a revolution or is it a revolu-
tion?"
