BY ROBIN SCHWARTZ I PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANGIE BARN In a gallery filled with old memories in the form of 19th-century furniture and decorative art — including mir- rors, lighting and more — hundreds of antiques lovers gathered for an event to fight a memory-robbing illness. More than 250 people took part in Antiquing for Alzheimer's June 5 at Judy Frankel Antiques in Troy, co-hosted by a who's who of area designers, includ- ing Phyllis Canvasser, Gloria Colton and Jill Schumacher. A cocktail party, hors d'oeuvres, music, door prizes and a private sale benefited the Alzheimer's Association. "As my generation gets older, as our parents age, it begins to affect more and more of us," said Judy Frankel. Participants browsed through her collection of unique, handpicked items from Europe; a portion of each sale was donated. Each guest also was treated to an antique appraisal by David McCarron from PBS' Antiques Roadshow. "For a first-time event, the turnout was unbelievable," Frankel said. "All of us were just taken aback by the response." • • • • • . • •. - • • • • • • • • • • Adrienne Ruby-Fink of Orchard Lake and Trudy Foster and Jackie Layne, both of Bloomfield Hills • Sizzling • Summer 20-75% off—hurry! • Sale absolutely ends July 14 • • • • • furniture • gifts • accessories candles • art work • jewelry handbags • treasures of all kinds • • • • Hot SALE • • .
