DETROIT - One September night in 1987, Regina Hardy was watching the Miss America pageant on television when she found herself particularly moved by the responses of Miss Michigan, otherwise known as Kaye Lani Rae Rafko.

Hardy, who had recently learned she was expecting a baby, was also a Michigan native, born and raised in Detroit...

She named her baby K’Loni Thorpe.
