Federal-Mogul Hosts Mentor Day For Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit

    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Oct. 6 -- Instead of hearing a school bell
ring at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, October 7, 1998, 20 Metro Detroit youngsters will
experience a typical work day at Federal-Mogul Corporation's World
Headquarters during the company's second Mentor Day with Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit.
    The students, ages 11 to 15, will be paired with Federal-Mogul employee
volunteers and spend the day "job shadowing" to help them understand the
business environment.  The students will interview their mentors and write
essays about what they learned.  The youngsters will also participate in
computer training and communication, strategic-planning and goal-setting
exercises.
    The Mentor Day activities are part of Federal-Mogul's corporate
partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters, which includes at least 10,000
hours annually of volunteer time from Federal-Mogul headquarters employees.
For more than 90 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America has been the
preeminent national youth-serving organization, based on a One-To-One(R)
relationship between an adult volunteer and a child at risk.  Volunteers,
serving as mentors and role models, help children increase their self-
confidence, reach their highest potential, and see themselves as having happy
and successful futures.
    Headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, Federal-Mogul is an automotive
parts manufacturer providing innovative solutions and systems to global
