LG inspires hybrid training in Ann Arbor, MI
From the Washtenaw Voice, the student newspaper for Wastenaw Community College:
WCC Alum Inspires New Hybrid Technology Course by Leah Rurka
I attended night classes in WCC’s Automotive Service program over two years, starting in 2000. When I first enrolled I had never even changed my own oil; when one of my classmates asked me to hand him the ratchet, I grabbed a wrench. It was a foundational experience in my career in auto repair, making the transition from “professional” jobs I had pursued prior.
Russ Ferguson is a beloved instructor at WCC. His indefatigable passion and modesty will serve well in the development of a hybrid program. Like myself, he’s a disciple of Jack Rosebro, Perfect Sky automotive training. Kudos to him and Ross Gordon for bringing legitimate hybrid and EV curriculum to Southeast Michigan. Hybrid owners of Ann Arbor will benefit hugely, no less than the students.

Live music, beer, wine, and snacks are in store for you. $25 entry at the door, which gets you free food and drink plus 2 FREE RAFFLE tickets, with an opportunity to buy more raffle tickets (and you know you’ll want to).
Silent auction items also await, like a three course dinner for 2 with wine pairings at Jardiniere in San Francisco (http://jardiniere.com/), a free “Vitals” service at LG, and more!
Items for sale include handmade bracelets from used bike tubes, magnets, and pins.
We’d love to see you, not only to help us raise money to cure blood cancer, but also to have a great party!
“We have marauded across the roads of Northern California, destroying the composure of all wild turkeys and small rodents who cross our tires (the lizards are, in particular, visibly disturbed). Our fearless and intrepid leader, Little Al, was plucked from the world of puffin chucking because of her burly calves and cycling prowess. Her vision and label maker brought the Peanut Bandits from a rag-tag group of motley hooligans to a finely oiled mechanism of speed and progressive ideals. With a twinkle in our eyes and a spin to our cadence we will attack the hills and flats of Lake County, breaking hearts and pilfering peanuts!”
