TODAY’S PROGRAM...
Albert Kahn in Detroit Dale Leslie introduced Michael Hodges, Fine Arts writer for the Detroit News and author of Building the Modern World: Albert Kahn in Detroit. Mr. Hodges is a graduate of Cranbrook and the University of Michigan.
Kahn emigrated to Detroit with his family from Germany at age 12 in 1881. Kahn did not receive any formal education after coming to the U.S. At age 13, he secured an unpaid internship with John Scott’s architectural firm. A year later he began working for Mason and Rich, the firm that designed the Ma-sonic Temple and the Grand Hotel. It is believed that Kahn designed the ho-
tel’s Great Porch. When he was 20, Kahn won a $500 fellow-ship to travel through Europe drawing buildings. While there he met architect Henry Bacon and the two travelled through Europe for several months. Bacon was later chosen to design the Washington Monument. After returning to Detroit at age 20, Kahn was promoted to Head Designer at Mason and Rich.
Kahn struck out on his own in 1901 and was commissioned to design the Belle Isle Conservatory and Aquarium. He went on to design the Packard Plant in Detroit, including Building 10 which was constructed with reinforced concrete which allowed for larger windows and much more light in a factory setting. He was hired by Henry Ford to design the Rouge and all other Ford plants. His ‘Daylight Factory” designs, rectilinear, practi-cal and spare, drew the attention of architects worldwide. Kahn went on to design Burton Tower, Hill Auditorium, Angell Hall, the Clements Library, Cranbrook House, the Detroit Golf Club, and the Detroit News Building.

FINES...

HAPPY DOLLARS...
President William presented a happy dollar from Betty Jean Harper in honor of OSU’s win on Saturday.
Max Ziegler gave $20 for his clean bill of health and also recognized the tremen-dous effort by all our volunteers to support our record setting Thrift Sale sales.
Kathy Barden Perlberg was happy to be hosting Melissa Strickers and happy that all the Rosies she met at the Air Show know our own Claire Dahl.
Jane Talcott was happy to receive a check from the Foundation for $50,340.75 for Washtenaw Camp Placement, $40,000 of which came from individual donations and Cross Foundation matching funds.
Bob Gray reported that more than 3,100 items were purchased by Thrift Sale cus-tomers this past Saturday and that more than 197,000 individual items have been purchased since October 1, 2017. He thanked all the volunteers and members who processed those items and thanked those who were not scheduled to work this past weekend but who answered the call that extra help was needed. He (and Dan Dever) expect that the next two weekends will be very busy, too.
Kathie Wilder is happy that 46% of current members have sent in their dues for next year and encourages everyone else to re-up by September 25.
Evan Leroy thanked all teachers and former teachers and is happy that daughter Lucy has started first grade.
Garry Donner said that he saw the longest working Rosie on To Tell the Truth re-cently. She is now 97 and worked until she was laid off in 2014 when her plant closed.
Clarence Dukes has been hospitalized seven times so far this year and is facing another cardioversion procedure this week. We wish him a speedy recovery.

SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION...
School Bus Safety Tips For Drivers, Courtesy Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office:
Keep your head up and the phone down
Prepare to stop when a slowing bus has its overhead yellow lights flashing
Stop at least 20 feet away for buses when red lights are flashing, unless driving in the oppo-site direction on a divided highway
Slow down in or near school and residential areas
Look for clues - such as safety patrols, crossing guards, bicycles, and play-grounds that indicate children might be in the area
Watch for children between parked cars and other objects
School Buses Are Like Traffic Signals:
When overhead lights are flashing yellow: Prepare to stop
When overhead lights are flashing red: Stop
When hazard warning lights are flashing: Proceed with caution
