PPG Trustee Bruce Blevins took time from his busy work day in order to share Packard history with a group of school kids from Grand Blanc, MI and with Fernando Palazuelo, the new owner of the Packard Plant.
You can see a slideshow here, courtesy of WDIV - Channel 4 news: http://www.clickondetroit.com/community/slideshow-packard-owner-speaks-to-children/25505512 Bruce was approached by a local school teacher that wanted her class to meet Senor Palazuelo and could he arrange a meeting. Bruce was able to do that. But instead of meeting in Grand Blanc, it evolved into a field trip to Detroit at the Skillman Library (home of the National Automotive History Collection) and later to the Packard Plant. A couple of things: 1) Notice that some of the kids are wearing T-shirts that they made as part of the visit 2) Bruce alerted the teacher and the kids that it was Fernando's birthday, so they brought a cake and sang "Happy Birthday" to him. 3) Detroit received 3.5 inches on snow on April 15th, the date of their visit.
