300th Birthday Celebration - Karen
and I went downtown to see the reenactment of
Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac's founding of the
city on July 24, 1701. |

| Part of the celebration included the
dedication of a bronze statue of Cadillac,
presented by the French-American Chamber of
Commerce. But the heat was so oppressive, we
decided to watch it on the evening news. |
