Great successful meeting at The University of Michigan, at The Bentley Historical Library with our host Mr. Leonard Coombs, Principal Archivist and his associate Olga and at The Automotive Research Center with our host Anna Stefanopoulou and students. We enjoyed a tour with Leonard & Olga of the Library and a look at some pieces that were set out for viewing. We then walked over to the Automotive Research Center. Returning to The Library for Dessert & Cider and a meeting.
We had 30 members in attendance with many new people and those we haven't seen in years.
Member activities included Charles Hyde and his new book: Arsenal Of Democracy (At its Annual Meeting on September 27, the Historical Society of Michigan recognized
my work with its Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award for "exceptional
achievements in documenting and advancing Michigan history." This award
dates from 2007, making me the seventh recipient. )
New guests Steve Stanford & Russ Dore (from the Henry Ford 150) You can visit them on facebook and www.henryford150.com) .. They also talked about 'bus tours' with Bianco Bus Tour Company
Bill McGuire was in attendance (from Toledo) and shared his website www.macsmotorcitygarage.com .
