90 A milestone birthday for Selma Price<br />
By Marcia Kalb and Gloria Besbris<br />
Long-time congregant Selma Price was feted more than once last month in celebration <strong>of</strong> her 90th birthday. Selma<br />
turned 90 on May 23. Gloria Besbris and Sandy Rose organized a birthday luncheon in her honor on May 13 at<br />
Friendship Village. Selma’s four children — Cheryl, Jeffrey, Andrew and Larry — and their spouses, children and<br />
grandchildren celebrated with Selma on her special day. Selma had the opportunity to meet her new great- grandchildren<br />
when the family convened in Kalamazoo.<br />
Selma and Zachary Price arrived in Kalamazoo from New Jersey more than 40 years ago proving<br />
that what the East Coast lost the Midwest gained. Zachary worked at Goodwill Industries and Selma<br />
was instrumental in turning Gilmore’s Second Floor Sportswear Department into the place to go<br />
for fashionable clothing. Selma cared for Zachary during an extended illness until his death and<br />
felt supported by her many friends and members <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Congregation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Moses</strong>. These friends were<br />
thrilled when she developed her friendship with our congregant Al Katz. Selma and Al enjoyed<br />
several years <strong>of</strong> lovely companionship with one another.<br />
When Selma moved from her home on Bronson Boulevard she was welcomed to the warm community at Friendship<br />
Village where she participates in many activities. Besides being a bridge player, she enjoys her weekly mah jong games and<br />
continues to be a stylish dresser. Rabbi Spivak, the Board, Trustees and the congregation wish Selma mazel tov and many<br />
more happy, healthy birthdays!<br />
