Most Interesting and Influential 2008

   We have fabulous people who live right here in the Lansing area who deserve to be recognized for their contributions to Michigan.  This article gives you insight to who they are and also to some of the wonderful things that they are doing.  Judi Brown Clarke is an Olympian and Dr. Frank Ochberg has been featured nation television programs as an expert regarding the shootings in our schools.
    Take the time to get to know the people where you live.  Maybe next year we will have an award ceremony for our features.  What do you think?

In the meanwhile, sit back and enjoy the brief spotlight of some of the people who are doing things. 

In our next edition, we will have an update of two of our past Most Interesting and Influential recipients. Judge Amy Krause will be one of the persons featured.

If you think that you know someone who fits into our Most Interesting and Influential 2009 edition, let us know.
