Flint Artifacts: Note fragment from Sr. Grace

  1. I agree with the last paragraph but what happened to the top half. Was this memo written to me? I don't believe I ever saw it. Did it come from the archives of GY?
    Busted again? Gordie's mom

  2. Mom, no idea where the top half went. I found this mixed in with some old photos. I can't imagine why you never saw it.

  3. Did you know that Sister Grace is still with us? I thought she was in her seventies back in 82.

  4. Gordie, Gordie, Gordie. "I can't imagine why you never saw it" sounds suspiciously like "the dog ate it." Yep, busted.

  5. I'm actually surprised to see such bold words from Sr. Grace. If she wrote that to your Mom, I can only imagine the note that went home with Etienne! She really should have mailed it directly to your Mom in an unmarked envelope (...maybe she did). Tsk.

  6. Not only is Gracie still around, last I heard she is taking care of her mother! Formidable, non?!

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
