What an example for Matty Moron to learn from. I guess poor Matty is concerned where his next meal is coming from.

DPS will get a lot of financial help from many sources once they are convinced that the monies will get put to good use and be accounted for. Mr. Bobb brings that kind of creditablity to the table so that people will want to help DPS

Nice to hear about Broad's involvement. I had only heard about him from his massive contemporary art collection in L.A. He gave so much money and art to the L.A. County Museum of Art that he basically opened his own museum there.

I remember when Broad started his small home building company here is Detroit. The name was Kaufman and Broad and morphed into KB Homes, one of the largest hombuilders in the country. His HQ was a small, concrete block, 2 story building on the north side of 8 Mile, just west of Livernois. It had a neat lattice-work false front and that dressed it up a little and distinguished it from similar size buildings along that stretch of 8 Mile. He of course moved his business to CA and eventually acquired controlling interest in Sun Life Insurance Company, which is where he's made his big money. Still a big supporter of Michigan.
