A Young 89

"Don't ever retire" is the Rx from a longtime family doc.

If writers of the
years' ago hit record,
You Don't Have to Be Jewish
that starred Jackie Kannon, Lou
Jacobi, etc., attended the annual
Pathfinders in Medicine Awards
event at the Detroit Institute
of Arts by the Wayne State
University School of Medicine,
they'd have been hard-pressed to
find enough gals to go around for
the young, single docs who would
have answered when Betty Walker
screamed, "Is there a doctor in the
house?" ... On the record, Frank
Gallup replied, "Madam, I am a
doctor," and she said, "0y, doctor,
have I got a daughter for you!"
A lot of handsome unmarrieds
merged with the married meds
to make up a record crowd at this
year's Pathfinders shindig, held
annually to help fund WSU medi-
cal school's student scholarships.
Other than the awards presen-
tations, cocktail reception and
strolling dinner, watching the
Detroit Tigers winning on a TV
held center stage.
For Dr. George Mogill, a big
surprise of the evening was when
a former Wayne State student, Dr.
lira Coumarbache, introduced
himself ... He was the first recipi-
ent of the Dr. George Mogill Award
for Family Medicine at WSU ...
George is one of the founders of
the school's Department of Family
Medicine.

QUESTION & ANSWER
Dept. ...
Q. "While in Southfield,
Michigan for a wedding, we had a

terrific hamburger at a sports bar
there that was known for being
lower in fat and healthier. Do you
happen to know the place we're
talking about and about the ham-
burger?" ... Lillian Russo, Tempe,
Ariz.
A. I'm pretty sure you mean
Mr. Joe's on W. 12 Mile, east
of Northwestern Highway, in
Southfield ... That hamburger
you had is called a Cherryburger,
with low fat and low calorie
content ... If memory serves me
right, total fat is 10 grams, with
95 calories, and I agree that they
taste great.
TYPO, ERRATA, Etc. Dept.
... That was Frank Sinatra's per-
sonal caterer, Sandy Hoffman,
former Detroit and Beverly Hills
restaurant entrepreneur, whose
name was left out of a recent
Nostalgia Dept. of the column ...
Sandy is back here as head of V.I.P.
Catering in Farmington Hills.
CONGRATS ... To Herb and
