in the article. (See photo on
the previous page.) We were
distinctly aware of how for-
tunate we had been to receive
the wonderful education this
trio of schools had provided
(Roosevelt Elementary, Durfee
Intermediate and Central
High). How heartwarming it is
to know that so much effort is
now being put forth to advanc-
ing education and providing
much needed support for the
surrounding community!
We hope to see many former
Durfee grads at the Dedication
Luncheon on Nov. 7. Knowing
that our presence and our
donations will be aiding those
in this community who do not
have the advantages that we had
when we were students here
is satisfying and a worthwhile
goal. We can make a difference
in the lives of the students now
and offer them hope and confi-
dence in their future potential.

Leave Son Out of It
In the Oct. 17 edition, an
article was written about two
Ukrainian Jewish emigrants
who were arrested for campaign
violations (“Giuliani Associate
and Former Detroiter Arrested,
page 20). One of those arrested
had lived in Greater Detroit.
That part of the article is
acceptable to print, but I have a
problem in printing the name
and information about his son.
Although I do not have any
relations with nor have I known
either individual arrested, I find
it totally unacceptable to have
included his son in that article.

Great Memories of
Working at the JN
Thank you for the very good
column on advocacy journal-
ism (“Publisher’
s Notebook,
”
Oct. 24). With some time
away from journalism, I can
see things more clearly. While
working for the Jewish News, I
did more meaningful journal-
ism than at the Sun-Sentinel in
Ft. Lauderdale, where I com-
peted every day to get a piece
of news on the front page but
rarely thought about making a
difference through the work. I
thought about leading the news
cycle, scooping the competition,
holding politicians accountable.
But at the Jewish News, I got
to write about mitzvah heroes,
Jewish women who advocated
for children and reproductive
choice. I got to live in and
participate in the community I
wrote about.
It was such a gift.

Memories of Greenberg
I always enjoy reading Mike
Smith’
s “Looking Back” on the
back page of the Jewish News.
A recent article was about “the
corner” and, of course, Hank
Greenberg (Oct. 3, page 62).
It said that he only played till
1940 for Detroit.
Mr. Greenberg was in the
service, and I saw him play
in the first game after he
returned to the Tigers in 1945.
It was the second game of a
Sunday doubleheader. I don’
t
remember that he played a
whole game, but I know he
got a standing ovation.
