There are many people in Jackson, Michigan who are very sad, after hearing that Spartan Electronics burned to a pile of rubble this past weekend. As I walked around the perimeter of the building with my camera in hand, I saw many people stopping, pausing to reflect, and then leaving with a look of sadness and loss. Most of the men and women who were in my presence today were people who worked in this building. Some may have worked there a good share of their lives. Seeing this landmark building go up in flames gives those who worked in the building an opportunity to reflect on old times. The pile of rubble was once a place where many spent their time and built friendships and fond memories. One good thing about memories. The memories can not be taken away once the skeletal remains of metal and mortar is piled up and removed. The memories of those onlookers will live inside of them as long as they are breathing.
