Shadowy "Godfather" figure, Sol Roth, who died, then changed his
name to Ron Rothstein and went on to die again as the initial coach of the Miami
Heat highlights the January 16 dinner meeting of the alumni association.
Gosh, we were so proud to have a Jewish guy be the inaugural coach of Your Miami
Heat. Thank God, a goy, Pat Riley, will, wrest the title from him as "Coach
of the Worst Heat Team Ever" by the end of the current basketball season.
In the interim, Ron ne Sol is currently enjoying success with the inaugural
Miami Sol. Unfortunately the confusion about the root of the nickname has
resulted in attendance by a limited number and type of fan as follows: (1)
Teenage Jewish girls who are terribly confused about their career prospects. (2)
Jewish relatives of the players (3) Perverted old Jewish guys who like to watch
young nubile athletic women running around in shorts, their lithe bodies
gleaming with light perspiration as (Whoops, I got carried away). Anyway, you
get the picture.
The dinner will be held where else but at scandal-plagued Monty's on Bayshore
Drive in the Grove. I forget the address. We'll have cocktails at 7:00 p.m. and
dinner at 8:00 p.m. and you have to call Stan Newmark at 305-670-7826 to RSVP.
Did I mention that the date is Wednesday, January 16, 2002.
PLIP BLIPS: Ezra Krieg, national
PLP figure, had a wonderful New Year's day party to which none of you were
invited because it was a very classy affair. . .Joe Fleming
opted to join fratre Shep King at Greenberg Traurig. He has not
been seen since. . .This report just in, Moke Frank is either a bankruptcy
lawyer or in bankruptcy; Stan was not clear on this. . .Another vague report
from Stan: Joe Jacoby is "Dick Anderson's partner, former
prez of Beth Am". Apparently, Anderson was the first non-Jewish President
of Beth Am. Indeed, he was the first person who was not even a member of the
congregation to have served as President of Beth Am. This part of the report is
probably wrong also, that Joe Jacoby played linebacker for Edison High. No
Jewish boy could possibly have been dumb enough to participate in an activity
whose predominate feature is that you hit your head against the heads of other
people. . .Sam Slom is still on the County Court and lost 75
pounds. We are not sure if this refers to his weight or reference to the British
monetary unit prior to adoption of the Eurodollar. . .The 2nd Annual
Bob Brooks Birthday Memorial Golf Tournament was attended by an equal number of
Pi Lams and Teps. Tom Singer had the lowest gross score, 98, of
which he is extremely embarrassed. Gary Brooks had the lowest
net score. Notably, Teps had the highest scores and had to make the biggest
contributions to the Bob Brooks charity which benefits children with cancer. .
.Until this point I had not mentioned Terry Reisman:. . .Here
is the important thing about Terry: he is still disabled and totally entitled to
the disability benefits he is receiving. This is a formal publication under
Florida Statutes which may be used in establishing public knowledge of a
disability. Those of you other Pi Lam doctors who are receiving disability
benefits, and I assume it is virtually all of you, may want to pay a small
stipend to the editor of the Bulletin to have your disability announced in a
publication of general circulation which under Florida law includes this
Bulletin. . .Harvey Miller and Morris Futernick made
so much money during their working days that you can hardly see them anymore,
even when they are standing right in front of you. . .The Honorable Robert
Shevin, who has attained recent prominence as an appellate judge, still
up to his old tricks when he was a brother at Florida Delta. After recent oral
argument, I found a bottle filled with urine propped against the side of my car
so that when I opened the door, it spilled into the interior of my car. . . On
the other hand, Judge Allen Gold is a relatively recent
inductee into the Miami Beach High School Hall of Fame. He has sustained his
sense of dignity. On the other hand, my dreams are still plagued by the image of
Bob Shevin slamming jail cell doors. By the way, did you ever
notice that there was never anybody in those jail cells? So who was Bob locking
in? Nobody, that's whom. The voters realized this. . .Norm Goldenberg
in town for Stan Newmark's big New Year's Eve bash.
Surprisingly, a number of you who consider yourselves to be fairly close to Stan
were not invited. Why don't you ask him why. . .
EDITOR'S CAVEAT: On a number of occasions, the editor of
the Bulletin is accosted by persons who congratulate him on how funny the
Bulletin is. For some reason, these persons think that the editor knows who they
are and, even more presumptively, what their names are. Rarely, does the editor
know who you are and what your name is. This is due to a combination of (1)
senior moments and (2) nobody really knows who you are and what your name is and
quite frankly, nobody really gives a damn.
DINNER MEETING, Wednesday, January 16, 2002, at MONTY's, 7:00 p.m., RSVP
