Have you driven a Ford lately?
I want to say congratulations to my father, Gary, and the entire team at Ford Motor Company on the announcement of their $2.1 billion first quarter profit.
I grew up in the shadows of Ford in Dearborn Heights. My first job was at The Henry Ford Museum (now The Henry Ford). As I said, my dad is an employee of the company, doing product design work for many years. My wife and I loyally lease Ford cars and trucks.
The auto show is a sacred yearly tradition.
With all that said, Ford is in my blood and when it does well it makes me happy.
Of course, the announcement is fantastic as well to a region that has swallowed its fair share of negative news over the past few years, so I hope we continue to hear of Ford's success well into the future and that other companies are able to follow suit.

Steven, very interesting. I retired from Ford in 2009, having worked in Product Development for most of my career.
And the Auto Show is a decade-old tradition in the LaVaute household - myself and my kids.
Steven, very interesting. I was at Ford for 31 years, having worked most of my career in PD, in Finance.
And the auto show is a decade-old tradition in the LaVaute family - the kids and I go each year.
