  1. my Mother left teaching and worked quality control for Briggs during world war 2, she enjoyed it, when the boys came back from the war she got bumped to assembly, working the line was a lack of accomplishment at the end of the day, causing her to return to teaching. She taught 36 years in the Flint, School system.

  2. Just a piece of trivia I read years ago… There was a legendary world class weightlifter from Dearborn named Norbert Schemansky. He competed at the highest levels for years, winning four Olympic medals, and set 24 world records. Largely unknown in the US, as American interest at the time in the sport was paltry, he was far more famous in Russia, a big weight lifting country, and is revered there to this day.
    Story goes that he was working at a Briggs factory, and asked for time off to train to compete in the Olympics. His foreman told him that he could have all the time off that he wanted, as he was fired. Schemansky promptly quit instead, trained and went to the Helsinki Olympics, where he won the Gold for the US.
    Once he returned, Norb was offered his job back at Briggs, but being a proud man, Norb declined Briggs’ offer to return after he won the gold. He finally retired from competition in 1972 after 26 years, and worked for the City of Dearborn as a civil engineer.
    He died in Dearborn September 7, 2016 age of 92.
