Robert My Uncle Edward John Motyka worked as a GOLD SEALED BOILER OPERATOR IN MOST OF THE SCHOOLS IN THE CITY OF DETROIT. He was a Graduate of Pershing High School in Detroit. Passed away in October of 2000 of Brain Cancer. I would hope My Donation In His Name Would HONOR Mr. Motyka in his name. He Personally LOVED TREES and ...Grew Trees On His Property in Farmington Hills, Michigan. He Grew Up In Detroit and told me alot of Stories about the City when I was a child. I live in New Jersey. His Sister Clara "My Mother" passed away last year and She also MISSED MOTOWN and knew every Area of the City. My Mother "ALWAYS TOLD ME" Bobby Detroit Is "GOING TO TURN AROUND". I BELIEVE MOM Who was also a Graduate Of Pershing High School in Detroit. Maybe THE TREES in Their Names Will be planted at "PERSHING HIGH SCHOOL"? Please someone contact me if this Happens! BRING BACK DETROIT & IT'S PEOPLE. COME BACK TOGETHER!!! GOD BLESS!!! Thank you.
