Mom called one evening in 1992 and invited me to take her to a festival at Scotts Mill County Park in Scotts, Michigan. She'd joined a storytelling group at the Kalamazoo Library and wanted to see some of the group in action. So we went, and enjoyed. There were young folks and old folks and in-between folks. Some were quite good; others needed to work on technique. This guy was being Davy Crockett, declaiming his exploits on the wild frontier. Best in show.

Lee A. Tregurtha's worn several names over her long career. For a few years in the '80s she belonged to Rouge Steel and bore the name of the owner of the Detroit Lions. She's seen here in the Duluth Ship Canal in 1988.

Been playing with m' scanner again this afternoon. This is Interlake's Elton Hoyt 2nd at the Lake Superior and Ishpeming dock in Marquette, Michigan. Photo was taken on August 19, 1989 with a Minolta point'n'shoot camera (one of the Freedom series, but I've forgotten which). The lousy quality is mostly because I liked (still like) to shoot with fast film. Some things just never change, by the way. The boat's now called Michipicoten; Marjorie O'Brien shot a picture of her at the same location just yesterday. ============================== Reposted: A cleaned-up version, 11/24/2008.
