Rob: thank you for your offer of assistance. You mention the Burton Historical Collection in Detroit. I spent much time there ten years ago working on my genealogy. Its a place I'm well familiar with. It also has a great statue of Lincoln right insight the Archival Room. The statue was done by sculpture Pelzer and has an interesting history. It was once stolen by vandals and MIA for a few days. It was finally found in the bushes of a local Detroit Public School-with damage. Hilary Clinton and the students of the Detroit Public School System raised funds for the repair work. It was then that it was placed at Burton. At any rate, I think I'll Make it over there in the near future and check out what Burton has. A seed planted?
