When prominent columnists Walter Winchell and Dorothy Kilgallen were on vacation, Ms. Eder filled in for them with her own columns. "She loved her family and her work," Slotkin said. "What other mom could get her son front row seats for a Beatles concert? "She was a hard worker who treated everyone fairly," her son said. "She knew everyone — calling people like Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra at their homes, but never wrote anything false about anyone." Late in her career, Eder received the Publicists Guild of America national press award in 1990. Shirley Eder is survived by her son, John, and daughter, Toni, an ABC Sports producer, both of New York City.

Memorial contributions may be donated to the Hebrew Home for the Aged at Riverdale, 5901 Palisade Ave., Riverdale, N.Y. 10471. ❑ First Lady Of The Piano DIANA LIEBERMAN AMERICAN " "She never missed a deadline," her son said.

Early in her career in New York, she was on radio and TV — activities she continued when she moved to Detroit. The move was prompted by her mar- riage to the late Edward Slotkin who the disease, Ms. Laredo had maintained her performing schedule, said her sister, Rayna Kogan of West Bloomfield. "She had concerts scheduled for this coming summer," Kogan said. "It made her weak, but this is what she wanted to do." Ms. Laredo, known as the "First Lady of the Piano," was scheduled to appear at the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival, to be held June 1 1-26 at vari- ous sites in Metro Detroit.
