  4. WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE FISHER BODY 30YR TIE TACK, WITH FISHER BODY IMAGE, 3 STONES, GUESS THEY ARE REAL, IN THEIR DAY, THEY DIDN'T SKIMP. ALSO HAVE ONE OF THE BRICKS THEY WERE SELLING AT THE TIME THEY TOOK DOWN FISHER BODY. GREAT MEMOIRS. MY DAD WORKED THERE, MY MOM WORKED AT AC SPARK PLUG, AT THAT TIME YOU COULDN'T HARDLY BUY ANY OTHER PLUGS. WHAT MEMORIES OF DAYS GONE BY.

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.
