Around here they who are representing the Harwell Foundation. It’s very nice of each of you to come out affectionately referred to it simply as the “corner”, and what is so contradictory about and we appreciate your support. that reference is that everything about the Harwells was just the opposite of being regulated to a corner. They never put you in that position. They were caring, they were I also want to thank my friend, Gary Spicer.

Their family and friends knew that. three years ago and, believe it not, that was three presidents ago at Wayne State.

And that is how it started. I sent a note to Gary (Spicer) and at the bottom I penned a message that Ernie Harwell had some great signature lines. That home run call with the emphasis I had an idea I wanted to talk about and to give me a call if he had any interest. Funny, on the “long gone”. The batter “who stood there like a house by the side of the road” most of the times when I do something like that, especially with departmental staff, I when he struck out and my favorite, when that foul ball that fell into the waiting never hear back. But this was different. Gary returned the call almost immediately. He hands of a Tiger fan from a recognized locality. Even that errant popup was a part asked what my idea was and I said I would like to build a baseball stadium to honor the of Michigan. He described how that foul ball was caught by a certain individual and Harwells. Sure enough, a day later he showed up in the office and we have now been then he would attribute any number of Michigan villages or towns to the recipient - working on this initiative for nearly three years. Alpena, Escanaba, Allen Park or Hamtramck. If you listened to the game, you actually thought to yourself that he knew who caught the ball, and because everyone knew Gary (Governor Pollard) said to me, having just come off a presidential search that Ernie Harwell, it wasn’t that far from believable. That little attribute summed up a maybe got announced a little sooner than he would have wanted, how do you keep larger connection he (and Lulu) made with each of us. He made a connection to our something like that quiet for three years? The answer -- a committee of two… that youth, when things were a little bit more innocent.
