In the midst of all the attention and shutting down caused by Covid, Lincoln reenactor, Fred Priebe earlier this month ended a two year battle with pancreatic cancer. Some will also remember his former late wife, Bonnie, who did an admirable job performing as Mary Todd Lincoln. Both were excellent and were in earlier Michigan Arts and Humanities directories and, I believe, in earlier editions of the Historical Society of Michigan directory for storytellers, speakers, and performers. His memorial service will be at 10 a.m. with a reception time and the actual memorial at 11 at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, 3003 Hannan Road, Wayne, MI 48184. After the death of Bonnie, Fred remarried. If you are unable to attend the service and wish to send condolences please contact either the church or me for further information.
