A4 to the
door on a couple of occasions," he
said.
Colts said he was unsure why
he was nominated as an "Everyday
Hero."
"I guess I'm just as friendly as
I can be," he said. "I smile all the
time - I do what Lean to make
people happy."
But delivering the mail is
never a chore, Colts said.
"I've always enjoyed being
around people and my fellow
workers. I just really enjoy being
out there and serving people."
Colts said his mother, who
raised him and his eight siblings
as a single mom on Detroit's
East side, was a strong influence.
"I believe I get my personality
from my mother." he said,
adding that she was an active
school volunteer while her children
were in school.
Colts lives in Inkster with his
wife and former high school
sweetheart, Kim, an Inkster
school teacher; daughter Kija, 10
and his nephew, Mtumi. 11, of
whom he is guardian.

involved in the name-changing
process, the resolution paseed by
trustees "requests the administration
form a stakeholder committee
to develop strategies and
timelines for easing the name
transition at the current two
high schools."
"What makes the community
at jhe school is not the name of
the .school," said Superintendent
Kathleen Booher "And. yet it's
important to proceed carefully,
decide what needs to be altered
physically, and preserve the history
of the school because pedpie
do value their tradition and his-'
tory"
While the board has been met
by opposition to the change from
district residents at its last few
meetings, it appears it was the
case of too little, too late .
"For every response we got for
a particular name for the new
high school, we got two or three
that said it was simple, call
them Plymouth, Canton and
Salem." said Givens "We are
responding to the groundswell
and we had many, many more
responses which asked for this
than any other name "
"One of the things we talk
about in this district is equity,

schools Plymouth. Salem and

The Plymouth Historical
Museum has begun a fund drive
designed to pay for the operating
expenses of an 8.500-square-foot
addition to the building constructed
25 years ago.
A letter sent to Plymouth Historical
Society members and visitors
to the museum a»k» "*ii
Museum lovers, members and
friends to help us fund the
Museum into the 21st century
by making a contribution to the
Plymouth Historical Society
Trust."
Margaret Dunning, who paid
for the current building at Main
and Church streets, is donating
more than $1 million to build
the addition t.o'the musnum
However, as with thi* original
building. Dunning wants the
Plymouth Historical Society to
raise money for the tTust fund to
keep the museum operational
The current endowment is
$500,000, rind museum Director
Beth Stewart in hoping the fund
drive will push that past the
million dollar mark
"We're looking to increase our
trust fund fivnr the next four
years to over.a million dollars,
said Stewart "We currently
received approximately $26,000
a year-from tb•• endowment.
whKh means n million dollars
will almost double that amount
for our expense*-"
The museum's annual hudget.
is $85,000, which is expected to
increase substantially with the
conKtriiction »t the addition
Along with the interest from the
endowments money for the budget
comes from fund-raising.

The Plymouth Historical Society
had originally planned for a
g 440-ftquare-fotot addition
However, that was cut by about
1.000 square feet when a neighbor
complained the addition was
too close to the property line and
