=My Intentions= I created a user account in Wikipedia primarily because I intend to write 3 articles which, in my opinion, are missing. I will write the articles here in my personal space before publishing them to Wikipedia proper.

Howell Opera House
A national and state historic site located in Howell Michigan. I am a resident of Howell. I plan to base my article on interviews of members of the Livingston Arts Council (LAC, Livingston as in Livingston county Michigan) which is housed by and owns the Opera House. I will also base it on any reference material that the LAC can either point me toward or provide for me. Finally I will visit the archives at the Howell Carnegie Library to see if I can find any historic pictures of the site. The following contact information is taken from http://www.theoperahouse.us and can be used by any editors to verify my information. 123 W. Grand River, Howell, MI 48843

P.O. Box 626, Howell, MI 48844

517.540.0065 lacoh@sbcglobal.net

Fort Street Chorale
Continuously operating for 30 years, this chorale is based at Fort Street Church in Detroit which is located on Fort Street directly across the street from the original Detroit News building. I will base my article on interviews of Edward Kingins, the musical directory of the chorale and on interviews with past and present members and on any reference material I can be directed to or find. I, myself, was a member of the chorale from 1994 through 1997 also serving on the board of directors for the chorale in 96 and 97. Also not that Wikipedia already has an article about Fort Street Church.

Edward Kingins
Musical director and founder of the Fort Street Chorale. Ed Kingins is an operatic tenor who has sung multiple roles with the Detroit Opera Theater and I believe sang at the NY Met for a while. He studied voice (operatic singing, Bel canto style of singing) under Avery Crew and has many students himself. He is also the Minister of Music for Fort Street Church. His article will be based mostly on external references. I will probably interview him, but he could hardly be considered an unbiased source. I will make an effort to use only verifiable facts provided by him, such as an "Operography" if you will. And a complete list of works, if possible, that he has performed. Ed Kingins has also been a professional Canter for more than one synagogue (I think more than one) and a member of several professional choirs.
