All four children attended Dearborn schools.  Alice was the PTA president for many years and coordinated yearly Fun Fairs at Haigh Elementary.  When her children graduated from DHS, she planned Senior Parties which all graduating students attended.  A favorite story is of her talking with Bob Seger and Jam productions to hire entertainment for the parties.
