Seeing a Reason to Support a Car Show.(Column)
Byline: Dutch Mandel
If I couldn't see, I don't think I could write these words. It would be difficult to read them, too.
If I couldn't see the things that give me the greatest joy-my family, my friends, my cars, my life-I just don't know how I'd survive.
I was thinking about this the other day gazing upon ladies in stylish hats and men wearing a mix of lust and lost-love emotion. They stood on the lawn of the Edsel and Eleanor Ford Estate in tony Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan, here to enjoy the many fine and glorious cars assembled for the EyesOn Design car show. They were here to take in the beauty, to reminisce and, just maybe, add something to their "gotta have'' wish list.
Few of these people realized that with their participation-the money they spent on tickets and commemorative posters and such-they would help the blind see.
That's because the EyesOn Design car show, a mainstay for the area and within the collector community, is not just a wonderful event, but it is the carrot dangled to bring 40 world-renowned doctors, scientists and researchers from nine countries to Detroit's doorstep. They come to attend a congress devoted to the goal of creating artificial vision through the development of a microchip.
