Mayor Rothstein's Role
I would like to bring to your attention
the following information that will
properly fill the holes in your cover story
"The Soul Of Oak Park" (June 2, page
20) in regards to the creation of the I-
696 freeway. My mother, Charlotte M.
Rothstein, former mayor of Oak Park,
led the negotiations with both the state
and federal highway commissions with
the helping hands of then-Gov. Jim
Blanchard and Michigan's U.S. Sen.
Carl Levin and U.S. Rep. Sander Levin.
There were constant trips back and
forth to Washington to insure that 1-696
would specifically not split or splinter
both the Orthodox Jewish community
and the city literally into two pieces. It
was my mother's mission to make sure
that all groups within the city of Oak
Park would be stable.
May I further point out that the ulti-
mate decision as to sign the highway
commissions' right-of-way agreements,
which would permit the construction,
was solely at my mother's discretion
only. Until she was satisfied that the
park decks over the freeway would actu-
ally be constructed, she would not give
the city's final OK and sign the appro-
priate documents.
As many of you within the communi-
ty know, upon her retirement from pub-
lic office, the deck located directly
behind the 10 Mile JCC building was
dedicated in honor of her many years of
public service to make Oak Park a better
place to live and for her never succumb-
ing to state and federal pressure that
would have divided the city.
Today, when our five now grown-up
children (plus two spouses), nieces,
nephews come for a visit, Rothstein Park
is usually the first stop during the local
tour.

Recalling A Brave Woman
I loved reading Columnist George Can-
tor's "Art Of Travel" (June 9, page 35). I
was fortunate to be able to volunteer at
Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem in the
fall of 1976. On my time off, I would
take excursions on the Egged bus tours.
On one such tour to Rosh HaNikrah,
I met the most incredible woman. She
looked like the typical picture of a bub-
ble. It turns out that she was a member
of the Haganah.
She told me that since she was an
attractive young woman, the Haganah
felt that the British would never suspect
her of being a transporter of grenades.
One day, she related, a British car
stopped her and asked if she would like
a lift. She had to say yes, so she proceed-
ed to enter a car filled with British sol-
diers. Being gentlemanly, they offered to
hold her large package. Little did they
know that it was filled with grenades?
Her friends thought that she had been
found out, until they saw her being
dropped off a short distance away.
I will never forget the nonchalant way
this brave woman told me her story.

Only In America!
Those who gathered at Comerica
Park in Detroit on May 26 to witness
the award ceremonies for the Catholic
League's winning baseball teams and
individual star players gasped as a group
of high school boys from the Jewish
Academy of Metropolitan Detroit
proudly strode to the pitcher's mound
with their yarmulkes plainly in sight.
The Jewish Academy team had won its
Catholic League tide.
Now, the players paraded through a
sea of Catholic League ball players and
their thousands of fans in the crowd.
When our grandson Adam Horwitz
was called for his award as all-star player,
he handsomely did the long walk. A voice
from the Catholic audience was heard
to murmur, "Only in America" You bet!
