A reader just emailed me: “I was born into the Ford legacy....due to my Grandpa coming to Detroit from Palermo (Italy) in 1911. He was the Janitor at the PIQUETTE AVE. - FORD plant...retiring from FoMoCo sometime after WWII.”

This is why I love what I do. My goal is to find tiny stories that inspire points of connection. In this we celebrate humanity.
