PS from Editor: The Grosse Pointe War Memo-rial Association is pleased to announce new plaques will be made for the Senior Men’s Club of Grosse Pointe.

Message from the President

As incoming president, I look forward to the Club’s 61st year. Our challenge as an organizationis to continue to provide interesting activities and programs to our members. Our current membership and the pool of potential members represent a wide variety of interests and talents. I want to call upon the collective talents of the group to reach out to each other and the community to continue to devel-op new ideas that will appeal to broader segments of the membership. All clubs and organizations face competition for time and attention, and ability to attract new members. Thus, I call upon the leadership to reach out to club members, particular newer members to make introductions and connections and ex-plore potential new activities. However, this flows in both directions. Members should feel free to propose to the group, via the board members, ideas they have to improve the club. For example, I know a number of members have expressed inter-est in organizing a walkers group to meet, get some exercise, and grab a coffee. The club certainly can

GOLF NEWS Where did the summer go? It seems like only yesterday that members of the SMC Golf League were gathering for the League’s Opening Day break-fast and anticipating another season of fun & sun on the links!

We indeed enjoyed a lot of fun & sun on the links (once the cool, wet spring went by the wayside), but the season seemed to come to an end much too quickly. September 20th was the last day that scores counted for league purposes. Although competition has officially come to a close, the camaraderie and fun will continue, culminating in our annual banquet set to take place on Thursday, October 10, 2019 at the Barrister Gardens in St. Clair Shores. There, league members and their guests will enjoy a fine meal and members will have a chance to expound upon their most memorable exploits of the 2019 season. The winners of our two scrambles will be announced, winnings from the weekly competitions will be distributed and there will also be a raffle for numerous door prizes.

The deadline for members and their guests to reg-ister for the banquet is Sunday, October 6th . So, if you plan to attend and have not yet registered, time is short! You can egister via email at mdjahnke18@gmail.com or by contacting Mark at 313-882-0271 or via mail to the address listed below. As a reminder, there is no cost for the banquet for members of the SMC Golf League. Guests are welcome, and the cost per guest is $25.00. Payment for guests can be made by check payable to the SMC Golf League and mailed to Mark Jahnke, 7 Fairlake Lane, Grosse Pointe Shores, MI 48236.

We hope that all of our members enjoyed partici-pating in the 2019 Season of the SMC Golf League and we look forward to seeing you all return in 2020!Spring is right around the corner!!!!

The SMC Bowling League Season began on Thursday, September 19th on a beautiful summer-like dat at 12 Noon, inside howeever, at Harbor Lanes on Jefferson, Northof 10 Mile Road. We have six 3 man teams, but would like to expand the League if we can germore bowlers. Our secretary, Tom Lukosavich had a hot first day, winning all the jackpot money, butthat should not scare you off. He shot handicap aided scores of 220 and 240 in the first two games. As usual, Mike Fried had the actual high game score of 213 without handicap aid. There are 28 more weeks left in our season, so if you are interested in bowling with us as a team member or a substitute bowler, give Bob Vogler a call at 313-882-9636.

Laura Freeman took the reins at her family farm and founded Laura’s Lean Beef company in 1985. Back then consumers had begun to shy away from beef due to concerns that it was high in fat and cholesterol. Laura set out to find a solution to allow health conscious consumers, like herself, to con-tinue to eat beef in good conscience. Laura com-mitted not only to raising beef that was lean, but also without the use of antibiotics or added growth hormones…EVER. Although Laura has since re-tired from that endeavor, Laura’s Lean Beef contin-ues to practice the high standards she set forth and has expanded product offerings to include turkey, chicken and jerky. . After graduating summa cum laude from Duke University in 1978, Freeman was a newspaper reporter before she returned to her family’s farm in 1981,a Clark County feeder cattle and tobacco operation. She, her husband, and new child faced difficult times when the 1983 drought was fol-lowed by the 1986 dairy buy-out, landing a one-two punch on the Kentucky farm community. Freeman’s mother was in need of the income from the tobacco crop in the 80’s, and has “kept” the tobacco money ever since. Laura’s husband at that time was no farmer, so she had to figure out a way to make ends meet. Coming from a long line of entrepreneurs, in 1985 she founded Laura’s Lean Beef Company, raising and selling beef from cattle raised without growth hormones or antibiotics.

As CEO of the company for 23 years, she developed and built the brand, traveling on business in every state in the union except Alaska, and in Canada. Giv-en that the production cycle for naturally raised beef is approximately 2 years, her work life was absorbed balancing cattle supply to retail sales and develop-ing and testing ways to move retail cuts profitably, in balance. All the while she built the brand, making it the most valuable brand in the natural beef arena. The company, with sales of $135,000,000, was sold to Meyer Natural Food in 2008. An accomplished equestrian, in 2005 Freeman had a horseback fall that changed her life. It took Freeman years to recover, and she considers this her greatest accomplishment. Hemp from CBD was central to her comeback. Now, Freeman owns and runs Mt. Folly Farm LLC, one of the largest organic farms in Kentucky. She founded and is President/CEO of Mt. Folly Enterprises, the company that owns Laura’s Hemp Chocolates, Homestead Alternatives Hemp CBD products, and Wildcat Willy’s Distillery. Freeman was a founding member of the Commu-nity Farm Alliance, and traveled to Europe, countries of the former Soviet Union, and Central and South America through agriculture programs funded by the Kellogg Foundation. In 2008 she was elected to the Bluegrass Business Hall of Fame. She has served on the administrative council (the governing body) of the Southern Sustainable Agri-culture Research and Education program, a board

member of the newly-formed Kentucky Organic Hemp Cooperative, and a member of the Policy Committee of the Organic Farmer’s Association. Laura’s latest project, in addition to her duties as the CEO of Mt. Folly Enterprises, is the research and development of a carbon sequestration program on Mt. Folly Farm. She understands the extreme im-portance to act now on climate change, by stopping the carbon pumps, and supporting the carbon sinks. She hopes that her fledgling program will provide diversified income to the farm in the form of carbon credit sales and act as an inspiration for other farm-ers to follow in her footsteps.

Our luncheon speaker for our very well-attend-ed and successful 60th Anniversary Celebration on September 10th was Phoebe Wall Howard, the Detroit Free Press automotive writer. Phoebe is a sixth-generation Detroiter whose family arrived in Detroit in 1850. They ran a small painting business in Corktown. She was the first in her family to grow up in Grosse Pointe. Phoebe went to Grosse Pointe South where she worked for the Tower newspaper. She earned a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Mis-souri, Columbia and has worked in the Midwest, South and California covering business, politics, government regulation and labor negotiations. She returned to Detroit to cover the auto industry for the Detroit Free Press in 2017. Phoebe has a background in magazine, newspaper, radio and TV news with an expertise in political polling and social media. Today, Phoebe covers the automotive industry for the Detroit Free Press with a focus on Ford Motor and industry news for investors. Phoebe reported to us that the United Auto Workers contract expires at midnight on September 14th, and GM is on alert for a possible strike. The UAW represents about 150,000 autoworkers but has another 250,000 members in other industries, such as higher education, aerospace and agricul-ture. She also mentioned that the Detroit Auto

Show will be held in June of 2020 instead of Janu-ary and the industry is watching how the new date will be received and whether the German compa-nies will attend. Phoebe discussed developments in electric cars and autonomous vehicles. She told us the real money in selling cars is being made by ag-gregating and selling the data that is collected as car buyers’ trips are being tracked. The data is reported anonymously so no one will be able to tell where you drive. She mentioned that Ford’s partnership with Volkswagen is a plus for Ford since Volkswagen is now the largest car company in the world. However, she reported that Moody’s downgraded Ford debt to junk status this morning. Phoebe took numerous questions on topics such as China, which is now the largest automotive market in the world and is increasing its manu-facture of electric vehicles. Autonomous vehicles are the future, but a lack of consistent regulations is slowing their rollout in the US. High capital investment is required and interesting players are surfacing to help fund this development. The auto industry is in a challenging environment and auto makers are making changes as they see the need. Despite efforts by the Trump administration to roll them back, air quality concerns and California’s mileage standards, which impact a third of all cars sold in the US, are driving an increase in the number of hybrid or all-electric vehicles offered by auto makers. Ford is laying off employees and General Motors is talking about closing more plants. Settling The UAW contract will have a big impact. Phoebe Howard and Chris Walsh below.

The Reading List White River Black Forest by Eoin Dempsey If the number of books still being written about World War II is any indication, interest in the con-flict continues to be high nearly 75 years after its ending. Eoin Dempsey’s White Rose Black Forest is a 2018 work of historical fiction about the White Rose, a small German resistance group among stu-dents at the University of Munich in 1942 and 1943. Eoin Dempsey was born and raised in Ireland,but now lives in Philadelphia. He has written two prior novels and has several more books in the works. Although the actual White Rose, like a number of other German resistance groups, had a negligible impact on the Nazi war effort, its exis-tence raises an interesting question for writers of fiction—what would you have done when faced with the horrors of the Nazi regime that mercilessly put down any trace of dissent. Dempsey’s novel opens with Franka Gerber trudging through heavy snow in the Black Forest of southwestern Germany, trying to decide on the best place to kill herself with her father’s revolver. Be-fore she can carry out her plan, she stumbles across an injured airman in a Luftwaffe uniform with a parachute attached to him. Her training as a nurse kicks in and she decides to help himdespite her hatred of the Nazis. Before long she dis-covers that he may not be who he appears to be. As she nurses him back to health, a complicated dance plays out between them as they each try to decide whether to trust the other. As we move through this story, we get flashbacks to fill in the backstory of both characters, but con-centrating on Franka and the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany. An important aspect of the growth of Nazism was the ideological indoctrination of German youth through such organizations as Hit-ler Youth. Many of the members of the White Rose were members of such youth groups in the 1930’s, but they became disillusioned as the war went on. The author describes the harsh tactics used by the

Gestapo to eliminate any critics of the Nazi party. Most of the Readers have read enough World War II history to be familiar enough with this story to not need to hear it again, but at least the history in this book seems to be accurate. Eventually the characters open up to each other and we learn how Franka is connected to the White Rose and who the airman really is. The action heats up as they join forces in a mission that could change the war. At this point, the book is more thriller than historicalfiction. It proceeds through an informant, a shooting, a clandestine meeting, air raids, a Gestapo chase,a love story, and more to a predictable ending. The Readers were split on their judgment of this novel. Several would recommend it and rate it 4 stars out of 5, but the majority were more critical, and although they may have enjoyed the story, they found a number of flaws in its telling. Some found the plot barely credible and the writing uninspir-ing. We felt the book might be appropriate for those looking for a diverting summer read, or for young people not yet well versed in the rise of the Nazi party. Most of the Readers preferred some of our other WWII reads, such as All the Light We Can-not See, The Nightingale, or even Beneath A Scarlet Sky.

At our next meeting of the Readers on October 17th at 5 pm, we will be discussing Molly’s Game: The True Story of the 26-Year-Old Wom-an Behind the Most Exclusive, High-Stakes Underground Poker Game in the World by Molly Bloom. The book has been made into a major motion picture starring Jessica Chastain. We will meet at the home of Bob Wrosch, 22801 Lakeshore Drive, St Clair Shores. RSVP to Bob at (313) 310-8097.
