Also lost this month: Bradley Scott Hughes, of Monroe, MI.

A 17 yr old friend of my darling daughter, Brad died tragically in a car accident the same day I took to the roads to visit #2 son, a MTU student. I didn't learn of his passing until arriving in Hancock. Brad loved to hunt, drive fast, work on his car, and talk to the girls. His smile was infectious. A kid at heart, he loved the Monster's Inc. movie. There just isn't a way to describe the loss, other than to say, he will be so deeply missed. My only consolation is at least I was in the land of peace and beauty when I heard his tragic news. There is comfort in the woods, waterfalls, and lull of the lake. May the good Lord bless and keep all those in mourning this day and in the days to come.

Charles Taylor from Royal Oak but a yooper at heart. Buried in Bessemer, MI where the deer and other wild critters can visit him.. He enjoyed helping his brother in laws build their camp in he 40's and had many years of fantastic hunting with them. Was happy just being up here in God's country.

Kudos to Myron "Doc" Berry, MTU chemistry prof and
bane of all freshmen chem students who passed through his lecture hall... so long, Doc, it's been good to know ya... also, Leon Alger, founder of the Parasite Creek Ranch, and Mike "Bushman" Hill of Co. Rd. 510 fame. Still waters run deep...

Wow, thanks pastynet for the great photos. Donn I think you've found your niche in life. Great picture as always. Glad you live in the UP.

I'd also like to add two names - my brother-in-law Fred Salmi, who passed away Nov. 18th in Ironwood, but was from the Bergland area. I was able to make it up for the funeral, and even though it was a sad occasion for returning to the U.P., it was so nice to be back home for a little while. As I left Hancock on Wed., it was white-out conditions, which was a mite scary for this current Texan, but then sunshine and blue skies after Painesdale, and then storm and sunshine back and forth all the way across the U.P. Whew! The other name I'd like to add is my mother, Gladys Walman, who died five years ago last month. (I forgot to add her in Oct.) It seems I miss her more as the years go by, but I'm thankful for my U.P. roots and Finnish heritage.

Please include Raymond Moyle to the memorial list. Ray passed away on Thursday, the 27th of November. Thank you.

Brad Waara who passed at only 19 years old, In August of 2001 only 2 months shy of his 20th Birthday.

Fly with the Angels,Brad!
