Good luck Herb.
I note that you moved to the only city in Michigan that Lincoln visited.

I second Bill and Laurie, Herb! Lincoln spoke in Kalamazoo at Bronson Park on August 27, 1856.

Will someone give us a history on what the name Kalamazoo is derived from?

Glenn Miller and his Orchestra had a hit record back in 1942.
