  2. Hmm, I was going to answer that question, but then it occurred to me that maybe I should let you answer it yourself on our field trip.

    Sometime, you should have your family go down there (near Greenfield Village) and take a tour of the Ford River Rouge plant. It is a great tour. I'll tell you more about it in class.
