The metals-artist who made this statue in Dollar Bay passed away not long ago. He used to run a copper specialty business out of an old church on Sixth Street in Calumet. What was his name, and the name of his business?

Was his first name Dan?

Good Morning, Everyone!

Good morning, happy birthday Pennie

Speaking of Dans, I still think of and miss Dan Urbanski and his
beautiful photographs of the UP. Did his wife Patti (I think?) remain
in the UP or was it just too hard to stay once he was no longer
there?

Good morning! Happy Birthday Pennie!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Pennie: Another one has come up for celebrating. Have a great day.

What was happening 9 months before May? There sure are a lot of
May birthdays! Happy Birthday to all of you!

Mornin' All!

Was his last name Anderson?

Hi
Was it the famous Jack Anderson who created the
Bishop Baraga statue?

DAN GWAARA. A GOOD MUSICIAN TOO. DIDN'T DENNIS LAHIKAINEN WORK ON THE SCULPTURE PART?

Dennis was extremely talented, and even designed area homes. He was also one of the founding fathers of the annual $ Bay fete over the fourth of July.

Wasn't that bronze of a miner just as you enter Houghton, also done by Dennis?

I think it was the Jack Anderson who did the Biship Baraga Statue. He had a studio in Lake Linden many years ago----in the 1960s---on the way to Bootjack but in LL. I remember visiting his studio when the Bishop statue was being made. Very talented and also his crew.

Good Morning everyone, too dreary here!

Gee I didn't know there were 2 sights on Pasty......How long have they had this one....Missy Drew....give me the scoop next time you are in....

Helen: Now you'll have to go back and read all the What's Up pages you've missed!

Helen you are right about the best people being born in May, right Pennie and Tim.

"Great people born in May", "best people born in May", hmmm - I kinda like that. :)

You too Danbury?

By reading the above notes, Tim in Oscoda, you are GREAT! You have a b.d. coming up too. I
do think you are great!

His name was Dennis Lahikainen. He was a Dollar Bay resident that I went to school with. He was quite an artist.

Some of Denny's art work will be on display at the school over the 4th weekend. Denny died while working on the Memorial to the Dollar Bay Veterans across from the P.O.

All these May Birthdays! I am still happy with mine in July.

kosk in Toronto (Koskintoronto) Yes Dan's wife Patti is still living in the Ontonagon area. I see her around town every once in awhile.

My birthday is in May too ....this weekend!! My first name is also Helen, what a great name eh Helen? Our mothers sure were great people naming us that name. I was named after my grandmother, how about you?

Thanks Lahelo.

My brother from $Bay was born on this day in 1965.Just got off the phone with him.Happy Birthday to all of you born in May.

Speaking of the name Helen. When I was a young man working at Burroughs in Plymouth, MI.in the Tool Crib was a sign that read," If you have any complaints go to Helen Wate." Like a fool I asked to see her.

Me too, Mikie.

Danbury, glad to hear you are one of the Taurus bunch. Also thanks for helping me with my search for the Grieners, have spoken to them on several occaisions.
