Thanks to Claire Nelson (in photo with me)and Wayne Ramocan for inviting me to do a Parlor Talk at their Detroit Urban Consulate in Midtown. The first few minutes is everyone arriving... I left the chatter before we started the talk in because I felt it is indicative of the spirit of the evening. Once we got started thanks to all who shared their stories from the those days in the 70's-80's with the Emily Detroit Runs, Emily's Across the Street, their love of Detroit and how they continue to share and live the "say nice things about Detroit" attitude we started back in 1979 through their own efforts then and now. Here's a few who shared stories ... Colleen Sweeney, Elena Fracassa, Michele Dragistry, Mary Ann McCourt, Julie Atkinson-Fountain who were all part of the Emily's Team in the 80's and we continue to be mutually supportive. Some others who shared stories of then and now were Bruce Giffin, Mary Chapman, Sandra McNeill, Patricia Cunningham, Emily Linn, Andy Linn, TJ Samuels, Christopher Gorski, Marsha Music, Trisha White, Gaby Durnen and Sue Sattler. It was great to get support from Krista Maggard and others who helped us or I saw in the audience.Thanks Trish Hubbell for coming by... bringing the spirit of your late husband Colin "Kyle" Hubbell as we called him when he was part of the Emily's team back in the 80's. Colin or Ky as I knew him is in the hearts of many including me for all his efforts in Detroit before he passed at too young an age. Thanks Scott Lowell for coming by.Some who I received nice notes or posted photos the next day or who wrote in our "say nice things about Detroit" Shinola Journal from the Shinola Midtown Store included Colleen Robar, Chris and Kim Casteel, Bonnie Davis Mellos, Gail Roberts, Janet Anderson, Melissa Francese, Robin and Rebecca Rubin Kahn , Nick, Alia, Brandi Keeler, Sue & 3 others as they signed...and many more. Special thanks to my friend Patty Rooney, from Patty Rooney & Company for arranging for Ted Fournier to video tape the evening. And what a nice surprise to have Photographer Bruce Giffin be on hand, share a story from back when and share with me some of the photos he took throughout the evening. Heartwarming support from so many!!!!While they couldn't be at the talk I dedicate the evening to Ron and Pat Andrews and family (Jennifer, Chris, and Sandy) and the Brockmiller family. Their support for Herb and me during some of our most difficult times I will never forget.Hope you listen to what others shared within the 2 hours... or parts of anyway. It was a lovely evening with a whole lotta support from many. I'm very grateful. Warmly Emily
