DETROIT
JBWMILE MEWS

The place was Minneapolis and the
time was March 1998, but the mood
was definitely northwest Detroit in the
early 1960s when a group of expatriate
Jewish Detroiters gathered to share
favorite foods and memories at the
home of Doris Rubenstein.
A dozen people, some already
friends of long standing, and others
meeting for the first time, along with
some "foreigner" spouses met for an
afternoon of Vernors, cream puffs with
Sanders hot fudge, Faygo Red Pop and
Rock 'n Rye — and memories of the
"the old neighborhood."
The reunion had its start when
Donna Quen Sherlock and Doris
Rubenstein met several years ago in a
professional setting.
"I was calling on Donna to discuss
a possible foundation grant," said
Doris, who is a fund-raiser for the
University of Minnesota. "Somehow,
the discussion turned personal and we
discovered that we were both Mum-.
fordites. I didn't get the grant, but I
got a friend instead."
The women reminisced about their
favorite foods and places in Detroit
and resolved to have a Mumford High
School reunion in town. It took
almost two years for all of the ele-
ments to come together. Vernors is
readily available in the Twin Cities,
but Faygo products and Sanders hot
fudge are unknown.
"I have a to thank my old friend,
Elisa Katz Dreyfuss, and my cousin,
Carol Glassman Kunkle, for going the
extra mile in shipping us the pop and
fudge," Doris said. "The Rock 'n Rye
was the real hit of the party. I think

most people had almost forgotten it
exists."
The conversation centered in great
part on memories of the Curtis and
Wyoming neighborhood, since most
party guests were Mumfordites. Sighs
and laughs were uttered at the names
of Fredson's delicatessen, Darby's
restaurant and other old haunts.
Although Mumfordites dominated
the group, there were others from dif-
ferent high schools, representative of
the changing geographic center of
Detroit's Jewish community over the
years. Bob Warshawsky, an ophthal-
mologist, started high school at Cen-
tral and graduated from MacKenzie in
1960. Natalie Madgy, a Blue Cross-
Blue Shield administrator, got her
10
diploma from Southfield High School
in 1967 after transferring from Henry
Ford.
For some, the reunion was one of a
regular series of get-togethers. Naomi
Wainer, Natalie Madgy and Doris
Rubenstein share Chanukah latkes
every year. "We're the MacDowell Ele-
mentary School Alumni Society/Min-_,
neapolis Branch," joked Naomi. "We '‘
three were all in the same class there."
