CONGRATULATIONS
`There is a return of energy
in Detroit that may make it the
most intriguing city on the planet
at this moment."
— expat Andy Krafsur
in Bloomfield Hills. Everyone was
pushing to get autographs; he was
very small and could not get through.
Greg Landry, the Lions' All-Pro quar-
terback, saw him struggling. He came
over, picked him up and signed his
football.
At the Homecoming opening dinner,
Krafsur was walking through a crowded
passageway and came face to face with
Landry once again.
"I was overcome with emotion' he
said. "I had not thought about that
moment in many years, but suddenly it
all came flooding back."
These types of memories made this
much more than a typical business con-
ference; it was personal for the expats
as it sparked memories of their past and
opportunities for them to give back to
their hometown.
Katherine Rosman, an editor at the
New York Times, felt the positive energy
in the city from the outset.
"A week later, I am still vibrating
from the energy of the city:' she said.
"Next trip home with my family, we will
be staying in a hotel Downtown rather
than in Birmingham, as we usually do.
The food in Detroit is great, the archi-
tecture is amazing, the people are wel-
coming, the museums are world-class,
the ballparks are close by — sounds like
a perfect vacation to me:'
Peter Cummings, who recently
bought an apartment in the David
Whitney building Downtown, came
to the event with his wife, Julie Fisher
Cummings, a major philanthropist
who serves as co-chair of the Max
M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation.
Cummings already plans to dedicate
more of his time and resources to fur-
ther develop properties within Detroit.
In an emotional closing to the event,
Todd Waldman of New York spoke
about how much Detroit meant to
his wife, Rachel Jacobs, a native of
Huntington Woods who developed the
Detroit Nation organization several
years ago to build bridges between
former Detroiters and their hometown.
Jacobs was killed in the tragic train
crash in Philadelphia earlier this year.
Waldman spoke about how funds
in her memory have been allocated to
support entrepreneurs who move to the
city with a mission to make a difference
in the neighborhoods and community
within Detroit. *

organizing Homecoming and the Jewish expat
reception.
