“Hi Bo!” (hand)writes JoAn Wetzel, chattily greeting last month’s subject, the “mural on the west wall of the Graduate” Ann Arbor Hotel. “The picture is of Bo Schembechler,” writes David Karl, adding that the clue “Jerry nearby” referred to a second mural featuring “the former U of M alumnus and POTUS Gerald Ford.” Both “were painted by Katherine Larson on parachute cloth and then attached … to the building.”

“I like the one of Gerald Ford a bit better” than Bo’s, shares Dave Bicknell, “but still find them a bit creepy.” “As soon as I saw that picture,” writes Alexander Marsh, “I knew that it was this mural on 615 E. Huron. No other mural in Ann Arbor looks like that!”

As Bryan Schlink notes, many locals “still remember [the hotel as] the Campus Inn.” “Every time I see the new name I think of Mrs. Robinson,” writes Chuck Warpehoski, alluding to the 1967 film The Graduate. “Not sure why they wanted to name the hotel after Dustin Hoffman,” quips Marilyn Knepp, when “he is not on the mural.”

We received 26 entries correctly identifying the hotel, either as the Graduate or the Campus Inn. David Karl is our random drawing winner. He will enjoy his $25 gift certificate at Ayse’s Courtyard Cafe.
