HOF 05 Something to Prove -- Michael Marcian

A Printing Bloodline

It mattered little that his guidance counselor didn't see great things for Marcian, who would develop a hard shell while growing up, particularly in high school. His father, Norbert, a printer in his own right working for the U.S. Information Agency, moved his family from Detroit to Washington, DC, then on to the Philippines. The younger Marcian vividly remembers spending Saturdays at the James Motchell Corp. in Detroit while Norbert put in overtime.
