- catalog abstract ""A Life in the Balance begins with the story of a young boy's small-town life in a close-knit family and his adjustments to city life in Detroit at the start of the Great Depression. The book provides a detailed insider's account of the founding and development of Winkelman's Stores, Inc., and the changing face of retail apparel merchandising during the twentieth century." "From boyhood to college to World War II and beyond, Stanley Winkelman developed a sense of fairness in human rights issues that propelled him to actively participate in the search for solutions to urban social problems. His involvement in such organizations as the Jewish Community Council, the Beth El Social Action Committee, and the City of Detroit Community Relations Commission led him to become a key player in New Detroit, the first urban coalition in America, established after the 1967 riot." "Throughout his life, Stanley Winkelman, along with his wife, Peggy, developed an appreciation for art, architecture, and music, and carried that interest into community service for Detroit, working to create the Parsons Street Oasis and becoming members of such organizations as the Save Orchestra Hall Committee."--Jacket.".
