Dave Taylor and Al Brundage called a dance in Lovett Hall in Dearborn, Michigan, around 1980. This article is Taylor's effort to tell some of the story of that venue.
[Editor's note: some of the information presented in this article (e.g., the timing of the purchase of the Wayside Inn and Ford's meeting with Benjamin Lovett) is disputed by other sources, but we do want to make this perspective available, especially for the first-hand account by Dick Moore.]
