Hi Pam,
Someone else told me how unsafe it was to go to the Detroit Lib. - bad
neighborhood - I wouldn't ask anyone to go to that place for any reason.
Best wishes. Joan

Hi Joan,
Boy I wish I still went down there, I would look for you, but sadly I do not
find it safe any longer and being handicapped it is very difficult for me to
go that far. The City of Detroit has totally hacked the funds for the
library to use for other purposes that I am not sure are equal to the
benefits that the library can bring to the citizens of the city.
Wish I knew where to go from here but I just am not sure. How about Wayne
State's Library? I helped one researcher and they said they got help from
them.
Pam

Pam,
Checking back on my research records I had already contacted the Detroit Lib
.- Burton Collection and they stated they could find no information on my
David Wilbur Corbin after 1930. I just don't know where to go from that
point - impenetrable brick-wall -- Thanks - Joan
