Today, we're diving into a world of capes and incredible local talent. The Detroit Historical Society has just opened a brand new, year-long exhibit called "Heroes vs. Villains: The Art of the Comic Book," and it's packed with surprising connections to our city. Did you know Detroiters had a hand in everything from The Simpsons and Futurama to the Batmobile and legendary DC and Marvel storylines? We sat down with the curators – Billy Wal-Winkel, Brendan Roney, and Kevin Hawthorn – right in the middle of the exhibit to get the inside scoop. I really enjoyed this conversation.

It was a year ago June 21, 2019. The Aloha Friday Ohana Gathering at Detroit Foundation Hotel and live worldwide Broadcast with Michael Patrick Shiels Michigan’s Big Show. Started at 6am in the Detroit Foundation Apparatus Room. Michael is a long time friend. He has won many awards with his Michigan's Big Show and his extensive travel and golf writing as author and journalist. Some back story on why I wanted to do this live broadcast with Michael at Detroit Foundation Hotel. Michael's mentor was the legendary JP McCarthy, WJR Radio. In the 1970's-80's JP and WJR were was very supportive as they still are of my efforts in Detroit. Michael was JP's Producer after I left Detroit. Michael and I actually met here in Hawaii in the 1990's as he is a wonderful ambassador for Hawaii and has written extensively and broadcast from Hawaii. I mention that because I have been weaving my Detroit community and Hawaii community for years with a lot of friends and ohana. There are a lot of threads that weaved nicely over last couple years as Bob Lambert, GM Detroit Foundation Hotel had been so open to sharing ideas and ways to showcase the community space and spirit I had learned to appreciate at Detroit Foundation Hotel. So Michael and Bob and his team at DFH and a whole bunch of us I like to call Ohana shared a wonderful morning last June 21. Michael let me line up all the guests that included who we had partnered with at DFH like Empty Bowls Detroit, Rainbow Connection and the Detroit Historical Society. We also showcased the Rocket Mortgage Classic and the monies being raised for the Detroit community as Michael talked with Steve Wilke (RIP) Hour Magazine and GAM and RJ King dBusiness who had just released his new book, Detroit: Engine of America. Larry Alexander ...DMCVB aka VisitDetroit was a guest and talked about all the efforts in Detroit. Tony Michaels, Parade Company joined us and talked about the Ford Fireworks that were coming up the following week. . Watching many of the summer events being cancelled and the Detroit Foundation Hotel being temporarily closed is difficult .... however the good efforts of so many of our ohana going on in many places in the community and hopefully DFH will be open again soon. I loved listening to this broadcast the other day. I heard Michael Patrick say the crowd and energy and spirit of the day reminded him of JP McCarthy's Focus Radio Show parties. What a compliment. While it was a year ago I remember so well how happy we all were about the day and how much gratitude I had for all that helped make it such a memorable day. Bob Lambert and Jennifer Lee and the DFH team at the time, Darraugh Collins, Michael Patrick and like always Colleen Robar helping us out in so many ways. So that is why I am replaying our Broadcast.

I have loved watching the people over the last few years on HandleBar Detroit. I see them when I am riding my bike around town. Singing, laughing and having a good time as they are going around downtown or whatever area the group chooses to pedal to ... So finally his Sunday I've got a group going out for couple hours... related to something with the Detroit Historical Society and Detroit Foundation Hotel. Brian Lindsey, owner with his brother Steve has been so helpful. I stopped by and met up with Brian and while we were talking I turned on my recorder and he shared how they started HandleBar Detroit and some interesting pieces to their back story. .... what is neat is you can organize your own group or go as single ad join up with others.

I was walking thru the Detroit Historical Museum when Wendy Rose Bice, and Gail Greenberg said hello and asked me if I was Emily Gail. It was fun to have them recollect some of their memories of our efforts in the 70's-80s with "say nice things about Detroit" and the Emily Detroit Runs. Then I discovered Wendy Executive Director of the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan and Gail Senior Staff Assoc with the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit were responsible for the wonderful new exhibit I had enjoyed a few days earlier titled "Chasing Dreams Baseball and Becoming American". I was so pleased to have them take the time to tape a segment for the Emily T Gail Show espnhawaii.com about the exhibit and related family events they have planned which we talk about in our interview. Meanwhile ....Here is some of the info about the exhibit from a nice story in the Oakland press by Sari Cicurel: The Jewish Historical Society of Michigan brought the exhibit to the Detroit Historical Museum and it will run through November 27. The exhibit is presented by West Bloomfield-based Jewish Historical Society of Michigan and the Detroit Historical Society. The exhibit celebrates heroes and pioneers like Hank Greenberg, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson Roberto Clemente and Ichiro Suzuki. At the same time that baseball has reflected the best of America, it has also been a mirror for challenges the nation has faced, such as racism, anti-Semitism, class stratifications, the challenges of urbanization. During the three months some special events included: • A Conversation about baseball and baseball history with Mike “Stoney” Stone, 97.1 The the event with Mike “Stoney” Stone was a casual evening featuring baseball-themed food and baseball history at the Detroit Historical Museum. • A Family Day took place presented by the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan and the Michigan Jewish Sports Foundation. Fans of all ages practiced their play-by-play radio and television skills in a Baseball Broadcast Booth, a special presentation chatting up baseball trivia and stats with a program entitled, “Old Jews Talking Baseball,” featuring Max Lapides, Bob Matthews, Irwin Cohen and Jim Grey and baseball-themed food. The Detroit Historical Museum is located at 5401 Woodward Ave., Detroit. For more information, visit michjewishhistory.org or call 248-432-5517. As on personal note. I am so grateful I joined the Detroit Historical Society. I had no idea how much goes on at the Detroit Historical Museum and Dossin Museum that fits my lifestyle and interest. The nice invites to exhibit openings, the newsletter is one of the best I have seen and read cover to cover. Less than $5 a month. detroithistorical.org

This is from June 11, 2016 ... it was the Detroit Historical Museum and Detroit Historical Society 150 year celebration for Vernors. It was the end of the day and several thousand of us were outside in the courtyard of the Detroit Historical Museum to give open our can of Vernors they had handed out to all of us, take that first Vernors swig and give a Vernors toast to the wonderful day of celebration. I turned on my recorder and got some fun talk story and conversations with lots of people including James Vernor V and his son Jamie (6th generation). Tracy Smith Irwin, Director of Exhibitions and Collections, Detroit Historical Society, Sean Clyne, Data Base and Membership Manager, Detroit Historical Society expressed their gratitude for the turnout and others like Carter Sherline, Howard and Cindy MClauchlan had so many nice things to say about Detroit, Vernors and shared about all the Detroit Historical Museum and Detroit Historical Society events and activities. Events and activities that include the Dossin Museum on Belle Isle, the Detroit 67 Project and more I think are best experienced and be aware of by being a member of the Detroit Historical Society. I'm a new member and have discovered such joy in being aware of and participating in what they do and learning so much about Detroit .... my hometown where I am discovering every day means so much more to me as I learn more about my own family Detroit history. So the story on June 11, 2016 at the 150 Vernor's Celebration was about much more than a drink. It was about Vernor's, something that really impacted a city ....Detroit and the culture of the people who lived in Detroit. I'm one of them!!! Keith Wunderlich, who has written a book "Vernor's Ginger Ale" says “It’s hard to tell the story of someone who grew up in Detroit in the 1940s and ’50s that doesn’t somehow involve Vernors,” Keith and Mike Novak who is the Vernors Gnome "Woody" when not a Science teacher in Blissfield and so many others created a wonderful day. I had so much fun with Keith and Mike early that morning in the studio at WJR on the Warren Pierce Show. Warren really showcased Detroit Historical Society plans for later in the day. We had a Vernors Boston Cooler for breakfast and Warren's team ... Lori, Erin, Erica, and others all had a Vernors story. Thanks for listening. Glad I turned on my recorder and can feature another "say nice things about Detroit" segment as part of my Emily T Gail Show espnhawaii.com Telling Detroit stories and why they matter....
