      Michael Moore? Mention his name and you'll find that people either love him or hate him, but how many people really know who he is, what he's done and what he stands for? This collection of stories from his early life sheds light on his accomplishments that will delight fans and might tempt detractors to take a deeper, more informed look at the man. His mother taught him to read at age four and from that point on, Michael's intellectual curiosity inspired him to gather information either from reading or from questioning the people around him.

      Roadtrip Attraction
      Just south of Seattle, near Boeing Field (King Co. Airport), sits an old red building resembling a barn. But its lineage is aeronautical rather than agricultural. This is where the Boeing Corporation had its beginnings in 1916 and operated until 1958.
