Is Ypsilanti still in Michigan? Because I just delivered a few
million worth of machinery to GM for their new plant there.

and his
wife were laid off from Prince and Donnelly....Donnelly also has a
bad HR
record...they have a reputation for hiring a gob of workers and
working them
89 days and then whammo....hire another bunch, eliminating the

for
paying benefits or unemployment ir having to abide with the terms

employment beyond 90 days...the auto industry in MI is
dying...Granholm is
hastening its' death....Michigan as the automotive Mecca is a

well in
the past...


For overpaid union gruts working the line yeah, they shot themselves
in the foot many years ago. Infact for any mfg, assembly ect.

But not for R&D and program management. True many have moved out of
the area but still there is a very strong presence of tier 1s in
your
state.

I try not to deal with HR people, Id rather work with the decision
makers.

Closer to many of my clients in the automotive industry.

Have you heard of Prince, or Donnelly in Holland?
I've worked for both of them on several occasions.

Ford ,Visteon, GM, Bosch, Hella NA, NAL, and several other tier
1's
in
the detroit area.

Being there would give me more customer contact, and chances to
do
more
work for them.

I do make it up every year to the SAE Congress.
