Disney World or even exploring
Israel together.
"My in-laws (including the late
Harold Helper) always loved to trav-
el. It's a great opportunity for the
older generation and the younger
generation to do something together
that they both enjoy," says Paul
Dizik, a CPA in Lathrup Village.
"It's not babysitting and it's not
hit-and-miss here in the city. Kids
today are so busy they don't have
time to spend much quality time
with their grandparents."
Robert Canvasser, who operates a
real estate and property management
firm in West Bloomfield, agrees.
That's why he and his wife Beverly
have arranged to celebrate their 50th
wedding anniversary on an Alaskan
cruise next summer with all 22
members of their family. That
includes four married children, their
ark Dizik will never
forget gambling with
his grandmother, Bea
Helper of Bloomfield
Hills, during a family vacation a few
years ago in Las Vegas.
Eager to reach the gaming tables,
Grandma Helper careened through
the MGM Grand Casino on her elec-
tric cart, beeping the horn and parting
the crowds so that she and her grand-
son, then 21, could try their luck.
"I'd never seen that side of her,"
Dizik, now a senior at the University
of Minnesota, recalls with a laugh.
"She was honking the horn, 'Get out
of the way!' It was a lot better than
trying to get through the crowds on
your own.''
That's just one of the memories
Dizik shares with his parents, Paul
and Kathie Dizik, and
his aunt, Joanne Helper.

They and his grand-
Dizik; front row, Joanne and the late Beatrice Helper
mother, who died two

vacationed together
numerous times over
the years since Mark, an
only child, was a little
boy.
They're among many
Jewish families who
strengthen already tight
bonds by taking three-
generation vacations.
From bubbies and zay-
des down to the
youngest grandchildren,
these close-knit families
enjoy adventures
together in locales near
and far. Vacation time
finds them lounging on
Caribbean beaches,
savoring Alaska's scenery
from a cruise ship,
