MAC Meetings and Symposia Update
Abstract
Do you, like me, find bits of meeting detritus in your various pockets or bags after returning from a conference? A scrunched pocket program, a People Mover token, an unused drink ticket from the reception . . . just kidding, that’s not actually a thing. This week, I found a receipt from downtown Detroit’s Simmons & Clark Jewelers in a jacket. I had a watch battery replaced there the day before the Annual Meeting. It was a charming store featuring chandeliers with shades made from reproductions of their mid-century newspaper ads, and it was a place where I could imagine generations of auto workers putting engagement rings on layaway or manufacturers buying retirement watches for loyal employees. The visit was just one example of what history means to a city so rich in it.
