Hermelin College, with Netanya and the 114editerranean Sea in the background

he new peace talks may
have produced uncertain
results, but there's one mis-
sion to the Middle East this
week that's bound to be a success: The
dedication Sunday, Oct. 22, of the
new David B. Hermelin ORT College
of Engineering in
Netanya, Israel, near
Tel Aviv.
A group of Detroit-
area residents and
members of the
Hermelin family will
attend the event,
bringing to fruition a
David
six-year project spear-
Hermelin
headed by two of
Hermelin's long-time
friends and business associates, Paul
Borman, Farmer Jack supermarket
executive, and William Davidson,
chairman of Guardian Industries. Both
of them will attend.
The $15 million campus has seven
buildings, including classrooms, elec-
tronic laboratories, the latest computer
technology, a library, gymnasium, and
other school facilities. The college can
house 2,000 students whose tutitions
will be defrayed through ongoing
operating funds provided by ORT.
Hermelin, of Bingham Farms, is a
Detroit-area real estate developer and
builder, internationally known philan-
thropist and volunteer for Jewish caus-

es, and former U.S. ambassador to
Norway. "We got the idea for the col-
lege to honor David on his 60th birth-
day almost four years ago," said
Borman. "We started to raise the nec-
essary funds and began building two
years before that. I think it's a great
way to pay tribute to a man who has
done so much for ORT, the commu-
nity, and Jewish people around the
world."
Hermelin is a farmer president of
the World ORT Union. Borman now
serves on the organization's executive
committee.
Borman and Davidson raised the
building fund money from about 50
of Hermelin's Detroit area friends and
business associates. Hermelin also con-
tributed to the project. The city of
Netanya donated the land and the
Israeli government matched the con-
tributions.
Hermelin, 63, being treated follow-
ing brain tumor surgery in January
1999, cannot make the trip for the
dedication, but he attended the
groundbreaking ceremony. His wife,
Doreen, is taping her remarks to be
delivered at the event, and several
other members of the Hermelin family
will attend.
"Students at the college will be able to
learn the cutting-edge technology in all
facets of engineering," said Borman. "All
of the modern engineering resources
will be at their disposal. And to us, it's
all the more meaningful because the
college has David's name." Cl
