Jane Paley Price wrote a children’s book, “Hooper Finds a Family: A Hurricane Katrina Dog’s Survival Tale,” about her yellow Lab. Hooper was feted at Yankee Stadium in July during a book party thrown by team president Randy Levine and his wife, Mindy. Jane is a huge Yankees fan, and Hooper’s party attire included a Yankees collar. Jane and her husband, Larry, found Hooper in Lake Charles, La., through
Labs4Rescue. “It was love at first sight,” she told USA Today in a story about the book. They nursed the sickly Lab back to health, and now he is “the most spoiled dog in the world,” Jane says. Peter Alter, a partner in the Southfield office of Michigan-based Jaffe Raitt Heuer & Weiss, was installed as the president of the Oakland County Bar Association. He is a member of the firm’s litigation practice group, focusing on complex commercial litigation matters, including banking, restructuring, real estate, partnerships, insurance, shareholder and royalty disputes, and various types of alternative dispute resolution. After 35 years as a biomedical researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Gerri Deckter Levine returned to Arizona to begin her second career as a photographer and co-owner of the Artists of the Rim Gallery. You can view her work or contact her at www.galevinephotos.wordpress.com. She adds, “For those who said it wouldn’t last, I am still married to Howard Levine, though I am still incapable of explaining exactly what it is he does (as is he).” Playwright Amy Merrill and folk singer Si Kahn wrote “Silver Spoon,” a musical that premiered at the Central Square Theater in Cambridge, Mass. “Silver Spoon” tells the 1960s story of young Polly Bullock, by day the heir to her family’s Sunshine Foods grocery chain, by night the editor of a radical underground newspaper. She falls in love with Dan Horowitz, a passionate, impulsive organizer for the United Farm Workers, which is boycotting Sunshine Foods. Ron Lowe is a partner in Perkins Coie’s real estate and land use practice in Arizona.
