What is the aim or goal of your writing: "Present aim is to awaken in people in Michigan a greater pride in their heritage. Michigan history is not only important it is fascinating, colorful, brutal, and full of exciting individuals who mined copper, built automobiles, turned the state's vast brine reserve into chemicals." CA says, "As a reporter for the Saginaw News, I was sent to Europe in 1962 to do a series on former exchange students in the Youth for Understanding Program. The articles pointed out what lasting effects there are for teen-agers to spend six months to a year living as the son or daughter of a family in the United States. Since then I have traveled extensively in Europe and South America."
