Joseph Andreini of South Range, 72 years of age, who was born in Lucca, Italy. He went to work for the Copper Range mines shortly after he arrived from the Mediterranean Sea area at the age of 18. Weighing only 155 pounds, he is 5'7" tall and he is wiry. He is married and the father of four children. He has been a Kegler 50 years, probably has been bowling longer than any other Copper Country person. He believes his love of the game came from the indoctrination he received on the Boccia ball lanes in Italy. [Photo of Joe in action.] Scanned: August 14, 2007 |

The glorious snow-covered Mont Ripley area is shown as it appears during Michigan Tech Carnival Week. The time-honored skiing area of the Upper Penisnula, still ranks high as a hill despite its lack of a more pretentious chalet. Probably no area in the U. P. has such a variety of enticements, where the sportsman can choose from so many slopes, gentle and steep. [View of Mont Ripley in winter from the Houghton side.] Scanned: August 16, 2007 |

William Rogers, 81, finds removing snow from his Greenland premises difficult these days. Not for a long time has the snow accumulated in the manner it has this year. The area has now received about 150 inches for the season. Bill is here shoveling the snow to the highway. It is six feet high where he stands. He is a former miner in the Adventure shafts and can tell many an interesting tale of the days when Greenland was in prosperous circumstances.[Image of Mr. Rogers shoveling snow. The banks are almost as tall as he is.] Scanned: August 15, 2007 |
