Hello everybody-I have moved to Kalamazoo,Michigan-I went to college there![WMU] I still have old friends there! I joined the Kalamazoo Civil War round table! I will post more often now! I have Parkinsons-but-I will survive!
Good luck Herb.
I note that you moved to the only city in Michigan that Lincoln visited.

It is great to have you back on the forum, Herb. We've missed you!
I second Bill and Laurie, Herb! Lincoln spoke in Kalamazoo at Bronson Park on August 27, 1856.
YES-Lincoln was here-I visited his Plaque!That is very important to Kalamazoo!
Awesome. I’ve been meaning to go there. I live in Brighton.
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.
"I got a Gal in Kalamazoo"
