PLEASE HELP. My father retired from Ford in Dearborn, Looking for photo of building
- Thread starter kickascii
- Start date
I'm not sure if this is any help or not / but maybe he'll like this > http://www.aperion.com/misc/Old_Detroiter_If.htm <
and here's a picture of the Rotunda bldg itself
a couple ideas...
1. Ford is big and has had a lot of employees over the years. Look on the net for an alumni organization. I did a quick google but found "Betty Ford Alumni". Probably not what you're looking for.
Anyway, if there is an alumn organization with a presence on the net, you can probably find pictures, stories, old buddies, etc. It will take some digging but would bump your "gift" up a notch.
2. Ford might actually have a historian who would have this info. If not, I'm sure they have an office that manages their real estate holdings that would have history and really nice pics. You can probably find this office by going through the "contact us" on their web page. Again, it'll take some digging and you'll likely get passed off to several people several times. Just tell'em what you're trying to do and someone will help you.
3. I'm not too familiar with this site http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/ but it seems to get trafficed by Ford employees. Maybe post your quest on there.
good luck!

Maybe working for Ford is different (I'm sure it is), but the last thing I'm going to want to see when I retire is an AT&T building.
Well, the idea goes back to way back when I was a kid. On his "lunch" break, he would pick me up after school and then take me back to work to finish up the day. THe cool part was since he was a plumber/pipefitter, his reason for going out was actully to pick up parts, and he always got to choose a car from the 'pool' lot. They were all brand-new fords, anywhere from an escort to a lincoln. Of course, mustangs were my favorite. I remember he got the plumbing parts from Liberty Plumbing on Michigan Ave. I was his 'helper' and loved going up there. He showed me everything he did and also how everything worked in the buidling. As a kid, this was awesome. I got to look in a 75 ft. boiler and see the huge flames shoot from one end to the other. I got to see how the cooling tower worked. I got to flush the ladies toilets from the service tunnel..
All kinds of stories that I remember. It's going to mean alot to both of us coming from me.

That's cool. I understand what you mean. If I didn't hate my job, I could probably relate
Dark, from a fellow AT&T co-worker I too will be so happy to get away, I'll never look back..
If I didn't have so much time vested (it's a lot to me - 13 yrs) I would walk. Just can't pull that trigger. Gets worse and worse as they rebuild Ma-Bell.
