On several occasions in the past we have mentioned the Cornish Pump and Mining Museum, but I don't believe we've ever mentioned the other half of this attraction in Iron Mountain. The WWII Glider & Military Museum houses one of the few remaining CG-4A Gliders, as well as memorabilia from the period of their production in Iron Mountain. The Menominee Range Historical Museum website says that that more of these gliders were built at the Kingsford Ford plant, at a lower cost than anywhere else in the country. Our thanks to the museum and to ABC TV10 for this glimpse of the U.P.'s contribution to the war effort. If you live in Marquette you can catch Pasty Central's Day in History right along with the morning news weekdays on TV10.

The Upper Peninsula never ceases to amaze us, which is why we're still here after almost 17 years of exploring it every day. That's what next Saturday will celebrate. I invite you to join us again at this spot on the Internet dial for another Shoebox Memory next Sunday as we begin year number 18.
Have a good week :o)
