Sad about Indian Larry. Old School.

Does it have to be only people we know and love???

The day Dr. Nat and I moved to Nevada (July 30) we had to put our little kitty, Morgan, to sleep, which made for a very somber 3 day trip to Vegas. The one comforting thing that did happen was as we were driving across the open fields of Minnesota that evening, we saw one of the most beautiful sunsets ever; a re-assuring sign that Morgan was telling us everything would be alright.

We know "Morga-monster" is sitting in a big kitty tree looking out the windows of Heaven upon us each and every day..........

The picture above is one that Dan took of "Sunset Rock" a small
piece of paradise, 100 feet of beach and a rocky point (Copper
Harbor conglomerate), that we purchased last Fall near our
home. The plan was that we were going to build a small cabin on
the property with the view as you see it above and sunsets year
round. I plan to still try and build the cabin and spend as much
time there as possible.

Thank you for continuing to remember Dan in his pictures and a
calendar. My love and condolences to all of the families who
have lost loved ones this year.

Patty

IN MEMEMORY OF SUSAN B. MAURER, WE LOVE YOU AND MIS YOU SO MUCH............SCOTTY

downstate don, We traveled to Marquette, Picture Rock, Jacobs Falls, Jampot, Eagle Harbor, Escanaba, Harris, Baraga. You name it, we tried to get there. We put 2000 miles on the rental. We spent three days down state. For sure, we will return. Hope you get up there before the snow falls!!!

My dad.. Joseph M. Nagle Died 8-17-1999. I still miss you dad!

If you continue out of Copper Harbor..north on 41..it ends and then goes into Mandan Loop. What is out there on this red dirt road? Anything of interest? Is it private? Is this where Sharon's cam is hiding?

High Rock Bay. Keep going out the Mandan til you get to the
turnoff to the Bay. Turn left. drive and drive over bumpy roads
(have to have a 4-wheel drive vehicle to cross over the Beaver
Pond). Then when you finally get there, take hours to walk the
beaches and loll in the agates. Dan and I went there and camped
every summer for 17 years. Also drove the Mandan many times
all around and out to Keystone Beach. Experiencing the
Keweenaw means going off the beaten path to places you've
never explored before. The end of the wreck road was our first
camping spot. Then the Montreal River area and finally settled
on High Rock Bay every year. Be brave, be adventurous.

In very fond memory of a very careing man who I was fortunate to meet last year on vacation, and bent over backward to help us in any way he could. I truly regret that I didn't meet him sooner.
Frederick Maatta passed away last December.

Patty, thank you so much for helping me out. We did drive out the road until which time we thought we shouldn't be there. Next time, we will take the whole trip. I'm sorry for your loss. I went through it eight years ago. Somehow, he will always be with you reminding you of little things and you will smile to yourself.

Karen; What I wanted to know is did you find any
blueberries, thimbleberries or blackberries?
Sounds like you had a real good time. Don't know
if I'll make it up before the snow flies. When it
does fly...forget it. It is too frightful of a trip for me. Did you get any pictures?

In memory of my Father Norm Hartman 12/26/1910 to 06/29/93 and my Mother Ruby Hartman 08/06/1912 to 08/06/01. Think about you everyday.

James D Garvey you are sadly missed by friends and family Born 10-24-1929 Died 2-6-2004
If we could only hear you sing the Michigan State fight song one more time....

In Memory of my dear mother Hilma Tatrow who pasted away 12 years ago today, surely missed by many & thought of every day. Love & Miss you Mom.

A note to remember my grandparents Robert and Alice Black of Eagle Harbor who passed away in 2001 and 2002.You are missed dearly!

In memory of my mother, Theressa "Jean" Misenheimer, gone three years now. Mom grew up in the U.P., Amasa to be exact, and I'm sure that's part of the reason I love it there so much. Miss you Mom!

In memory of the three young men who were so
