DETROIT/Sept. 23, 2002 - Detroit broadcast legend and author Mort Crim will sign copies of his best-selling book, "Good News for Tough Times," at Comerica’s new branch office at 6634 Allen Road in Allen Park on Friday, Oct. 4 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
"Tough times aren’t new," Crim said. "Good news isn’t either. It happens every day, but tends to speak in a quiet voice, one that can be difficult to hear right now. But good news is out there and through this book, I’m pleased to share more than 80 anecdotes filled with good news."
Everyone who visits the new Comerica branch during Crim’s visit will receive a free, autographed copy of Crim’s book and be able to chat with the local broadcast veteran, currently chairman and founder of Mort Crim Communications, Inc. Crim helps Comerica promote its "hometown bank" image through advertising and other marketing initiatives.
