Your correspondent recently discovered that there's a museum in Birmingham. Been there since 2000, at the head of Southfield Avenue where it meets Woodward just west of town. There's a website (https://www.michigan.org/property/birmingham-museum) and tours available. Whod'a thunk it?

Bill is working hard on the choral arrangement for the class gift, which is to be digital recordings of professional choruses singing the school songs. The school can use them as fundraiser premiums or whatever they choose. Other donations for building restoration and preservation are being considered

EAST BAY BLUE, Cookie's band, will play in the Little Gym on Saturday night. Everyone who remembers the 40th and 45th reunions will certainly recall just how much fun they had rockin' to the oldies. We will make this open to all classes to make sure it's well attended.

Let Lucy or I know NOW if you plan to attend, so we have some idea of a headcount. See John's Substack newsletter. Just drop Lucy or me a line.

See the school's reunion website at https://schools.cranbrook.edu/alumni/reunion for more details.
