Notes

Memo dated July 30, 1991:

"RE: Spirit of Detroit, presentation model
On July 26, 1991 Molly told me that in the past Fredericks gave presentation models to the City of Detroit and the city would give them to a recipient. Thus they were a gift from the city but Fredericks was always present at the ceremony."
