__/ MICHIGAN RUNNER TV: DETROIT FREE PRESS / FLAGSTAR BANK CELEBRATES VOLUNTEERS - Late last Fall, the Detroit Free Press / Flagstar Bank honored its volunteers with an evening on the Detroit Princess Riverboat. Michigan Runner TV interviewed volunteers and Detroit Free Press Publisher David Hunke.

We think this is one of our most entertaining shows. http://michiganrunner.tv/2006detroit/.
