He was wearing the identi- cal outfit I was wearing: black blazer with open white sport shirt, gray slacks, black loafers. At dinner we both had the same menu choices! "As we learned more — neither of us played golf, but we both played tennis; we both had the exact same back problem; we took the same medication to ease digestive problem — we were even more amazed at the similarities! "To top if off, we found that both couples were going to be in Phoenix a short time later on the exact same dates. Meeting in Phoenix, we learned that both couples were going to be in Nantucket that summer — our first family trip there but their regular summer holiday. "Further investigation revealed that our grandparents came from villages in Lithuania only 10 miles or so apart, so maybe we were related!" RESTAURANT RECOMMEN- DATION Dept ... from Marci "Alegrias restaurant in Feinbaum Farmington Hills (Farmington Hills Holiday Inn on Grand River and 10 Mile) for not only delicious Spanish food, but excellent flamenco dance entertainment as well." CONGRATS ... To Roberta Kaner ... on her birthday ... and to Roberta's daughter, Lisa Kaner, also on her birthday ... both celebrated the same day. Note from Ilyssa Tachel, 8th grade student at Hillel Day School says, "It would mean so much to me if you could wish my Aunt Roberta and cousin Lisa a happy birthday from me" ... No sooner said than done for a fine young lady. To Shirley Selik ... on her 77th birthday. THEY COULDN'T have asked for a better anniversary gift ... 25 years ago, Michael and Maya Kuchersky came here from Russia ... Son, Roman, and daughter-in-law, Lida, made sure they were both given a wonderful present ... with the recent birth of Andrian Jacob ... to make the owners of Fiddler and Sunrise Cafes and Maya's Skin Care, first-time grandparents. THE NEW 52-food Raw Bar & Kettle at Rocky's of Northville on W. Seven Mile, deserves mention ... It's that good ... complete with oyster kettle and a bevy of chilled seafood
