GOODMAN, 82, of
Bloomfield Hills,
died Sept. 9, 2008.
He received his
MBA from Wharton

State University. He
quickly became a
consummate teacher of history and
economics and was loved by his stu-
dents.
He left teaching to become the man-
ager of the Michigan State Fair and
was appointed by Gov. John Swainson.
He brought free concerts to the fair,
and it was a great success.
He continued his career by becom-
ing a regional manager for shopping
malls and also went into retail busi-
ness with Wells Cargo. After he retired
at age 77, he became a substitute

In 1971, he became the director of
the Alumni Association of Wayne

directors of Wayne State Fund from
1971-1974.
He became active with the
Democratic Party and founded and
organized "Teen Dems" an organiza-
tion to introduce politics to young
people.
He became a fearless campaigner,
an influential speaker and a precinct
delegate for the party.
He became an advance man for
many politicians and helped with the
presidential campaigns of Stevenson,
Humphrey, Kennedy, Johnson and
Mondale and started many grass-
roots committees. His last words

about!"
