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.
