Active Tool Sebewaing

Matt Staller

Pete I remember you. You worked with Mike Garvonick in the cmm room right? What's funny about this is that my Dad took me to Active in Detroit when I was a H.S. senior. I got the tour of the plant, and when I went into the cmm room you waited until my Dad walked away and told me not to work here, go to college and learn computers instead and come back with a degree. I was shocked, after hearing so many people praise working at Active as a die maker. I didn't take your advice (not right away anyhow) and I went through my apprenticeship there starting in '92, and left the company around '98. Len Staller was my Dad, Joe Staller was my uncle; they were both follow up guys. I got out of it all in 2002 after going to school to learn computers HAHAHA. I miss the closeness of my shop friends; office life is sterile and boring. But it's a living, for now. Best of luck to you Pete.

I used to work for Active Tool, at their Tool and Die Facility in Detroit. I just noticed on Google Earth that it is now a vacant lot. Every night I worked there is a memory, now with no phisical evidence. What an overwhelming feeling. The photo of Sebewing is very haunting, and wonderfully nostalgic, all at the same time. Thank You
