Wow, what a month! The book continues to sell well, and is even in its second printing. The publisher says that if they sell through their first run in one year they are happy; so a second printing after two months makes me happy! : )
After suffering from the many complications of old age, my father passed away on May 19th at the age of 89. His family were around him and now the ashes both of my parents will be buried in Wisconsin in July. I keep thinking about things to take over to him or a way to engage him, and this will be difficult. My parents will be deeply missed but really do live on in us in the things we do, think, like, remember.
Warren's two-day Greatest Garage Sale event Memorial Day weekend was fun. Didn't sell 75 books, but actually sold 23 over two days and that wasn't too bad. Could have been better, maybe. Attendance was down this year, we heard, but people were spending more. Bruce Rinke is my best customer! Thanks Bruce, for sharing this history with your family members... we will connect the dots and get to the bottom of the Rinke (and related) family mysteries!
Thanks to Phil Fell, Barney Nowicki, Carol Minnick, Wes and Margaret Arnold, April and May were lucrative and without their help it would have been a lot more difficult!
ALREADY IN ITS SECOND PRINTING!! ORDER BELOW
WARRENHERITAGE@LIVE.COM TO ORDER! This nostalgic look at the development of Warren is a fitting tribute to the third largest city in Michigan.
About Me
- Martha
- NYC resident for almost 25 years; it's true that when it "gets in your blood" nothing else compares. Worked in television production (CBS, NBC, ABC) and feature film production (IATSE member), did freelance graphics, architectural interior design, cosmetic company buying (imported gifts and various packaging components). I COME FROM a very musical and artistic family and started to play classical piano at a young age. Mother Ruth Burczyk was a pianist and teacher in Grosse Pointe, Michigan for over 50 years and impacted the lives of so many in the area. One tends to forget that until so often running into friends and former students. CAREGIVING for my parents brought me back to the Detroit area where I grew up. HAVE BEEN HERE during the worst economic decade in Michigan history and nationally since The Great Depression but managed to teach design at the college level, earn an MS in historic preservation, and author this book. WARREN can now take its place among the many books in this book series; volume two is under way!
