(rshsdepot) Fw: Detroit MC Station

My name is Jack Cronin; Iım a professor of film & video in the Department of
Media Arts and Studies at Wayne State University.  I am currently doing
research for a documentary film about the importance of maintaining our
sense of history, identity and memory in Detroit, specifically in relation
to the cityıs older landmarks, i.e. the Book-Cadillac, The Boblo Boat, The
Michigan Central Station, The Theatre District, etc.  Iım exploring the
significance and relevance of these structures; in terms of the personal
connections people have to them, as well as their historical and
contemporary meaning to the city as a whole.  My documentary is concerned
with the value of these buildings, both measurable and immeasurable.

If you would be willing to sit down some time and talk about this matter, I
would be very interested in hearing what you have to say.  I would like to
learn more about your efforts to save The Michigan Central Station, as well
as your reasons for doing so.

Please let me know if you would be willing to share your expertise and
insight with me.  I can be reached at this email address, or by phone at
(313) 871-2530.  Also, if there is anyone else you know of who might be
interested in talking about this matter, please forward this letter to them.


Thank You,
