Hello, I was stationed at Calumet AFB from July 1966 to June 1968. At that time the area got over 300 inches of snow each year. During the first winter there, it snowed for 77 days straight. I worked as an AC&W operator. Lived for most of my tour of duty in the airman's barracks, east building, second floor, first room as you come up the stairs. Jay Hernandez from San Antonio, TX was my room mate. In the barracks there was a TV but we could only pick up one Canadian TV station. We could pick up two radio stations; one spoke in Finnish and the other was a Canadian station in English. We spent many hours in the NCO club playing cards and liar's dice. Packers football games were exciting events in the NCO club.Certainly was an interesting experience to live on this base. Used to play the piano in the NCO Club and at two different bars downtown Calumet. Did not have a car for the first year there but got one during the second year. Use to hitch hike to Calumet or would catch a ride with the civilians that worked in the chow hall.Saw plenty of bears at the bear pit and in the woods. Also one year a car was in a wreck and landed on top of a snow bank. The vehicle was left there until the snow melted in April/May. I think the warmest day was in August 1969; a bunch of us soldiers went to a beach on the west shore and jumped into Lake Superior. It was a whopping 70 degrees that day; highest temperature of the year.Before I left for my next assignment, we had a big 'get together' on the shore of the lake at the base of the mountain. About ten cars of airman came roaring down the hill. We made a circle with the cars and built a fire in the center. Airman Moe drove his car through the fire. That was dangerous! Andy

This engine was #29 Keweenaw Central, formerly a Copper Range Railroad engine. the photo is taken in Ripley. The engine in front of 29 is an old Northern Pacific locomotive as far as I can remember. It had missing parts. I think the unit behind #29 is a diesel powered locomotive used for pulling the excursion train between Calumet and Lake Linden after #29 developed boiler problems. This railroad operated in the late 1960's.

The A. Haas Brewery building was owned by my great great grandfather Gottieb Hartmann. Over the years this building has had a number of different owners. The building still stands today after having had a fire when it was the People's Market. The third floor no longer exists. This building according to the Polk Directories at one time was rented out/used by a number of different organizations including the Knights of Carpathia, The Foresters and others.

This is how I recall the building. The photo is taken looking south from the downhill, north side. As Irecall (from the late '50s) the mill was on the east end of what is nowthe Isle Royale National Park grounds. It was owned by Julia Slagg andI think Curt Eggleston, who was a member of our church, was the manager. When Lloyd was pastor of the Presbyterian church, which waslocated at the square, we frequently took walks down the street to thewaterfront. I believe that after the millceased operation Erickson Feed and Seed first opened their businessthere. The Hamar-Quandt building was further east, about where the rental units are located today.

Tom Holden's comments hold true here. Both lifeboats are most likely from the Emperor. Although not expressed in the posted discussion, Holden spoke with the individual who towed the two boats from the wreck site (Canoe Rocks) to Todd Harbor. I believe the idea was to stage them for eventual return to the Emperor's owner, a Canadian outfit. The salvage never occurred and the vessels remained in place. I visited the beached lifeboat in 2009 and it is in similar condition to that presented in the photo. Of course there is more degradation due to weather and such, but it still recognizable as a lifeboat. I have not confirmed the presence of the second submerged vessel, but hope to do so via snorkel this coming summer. I have compared the lifeboat's construction to one now resting beside the Kamloops in perfect condition. The two are not alike in many ways giving further credence to the Emperor origin.

I think it is near Mill Mine Junction but it can not be the track coming from Atlantic Mine because the telegraph wires are on the wrong side of the track for that to be the case. Based upon the location of the telegraph lines plus the snowfence, I believe this photo is about a mile north of Mill Mine Junction on the Lakeshore Branch. You would still see the distant view of Quincy Hill off to the right. The lack of an extra pair of wires tells me the photo was taken sometime prior to 1911. -Brian R Juntikka-

This is the only photo I've seen of the metal pier/breakwater in service then.

That looks like the Evergreen Cemetery in Eagle River to me. I'm not positive of that assessment, but the only place in the Keweenaw where I've seen that style of ornate fence surrounding plots is Eagle River. Of course, such fences may have been in other cemeteries at earlier times but have since been removed.

Wish the Main Street people would require the facades be rebuilt. A similar requirement was enacted in Brooklyn NY with many of the brownstones. They could build what they wanted as long as the original facades were preserved to maintain the street's atmosphere.

The first floor of this wing was the student health service. It had several sleeping rooms where students with non-surgical illnesses (such as mumps) were kept. Serious cases were sent to the local hospital. Minor cases (such a mononucleosis) were told to stay in their dorm rooms. The health staff did all they could to keep the students able to attend classes.

That was the studio of radio station WGGL, located in the tower of Sperr or (old) McNair hall. The first FCC licensed radio station at Michigan Tech. It initally used primarily equipment from various engineering departments (hence the MCMT microphone stand). This photgraph was taken circa 1969.

I think that Dr. Winnekow deserves a tribute. She was my professor for two quarters of Thermodynamics (ME320 and ME321) in about 1968 and 1969. She was not only a fine engineer, but also an excellent teacher. I don't remember her ever telling a joke or being humorous. She is totally no-nonsence and one of the few professors I remember whenever I think back on my time at Michigan Tech. Adiabatic and isentropic, to say the least.

The very first airplane ride I ever took was in September, 1968 on a North Central DC-3—as I left Garden City for my freshman year at Tech.As I recall, the trip took almost 6 hours in total, with stops in Lansing,Grand Rapids, Green Bay, Menominee, and Iron Mountain before reaching CMX.I sat in a portion of the plane where there were facing" seats, with twoseats facing forward and two facing rearward. All four of us sitting in the this area on one side of the aisle were freshmen headed to Houghton, and it was the very severe banked turn into the Menominee airport that I remember most from the trip.It was a very severe turn, and one the guys sitting with us got sick. He got it all in the paper bag, but the sound of him retching (and the smell) set off a chain reaction, as several other people on board also became sick almost immediately thereafter. I managed to keep everything down, but I did feel terrible for about five minutes. Maybe it was the sickly teal interior color scheme that made it worse!Just about 41 years--and at least 2 million frequent flyer miles later--I still remember that flight as well as almost any I've been on. And, it's the only time I've ever seen anyone use the paper bags for airsickness. Many of us miss "Herman" the Blue Goose, who graced the tail of North Centralplanes--and later was the symbol adopted by Republic when North Central and Southern merged. Look for www.hermantheduck.org for more about North Central's history.[comments posted about this photo in the Tech Alum electronic newsletter August 10, 2009. http://www.admin.mtu.edu/alumni/techalum/2008-09/09.08.10.php]"

The plane shown is a convair. they were originally piston engine powered. north central had them refurbished and re-powered with allison (i believe) turbo props. there was a large increase in power, reduced fuel consumption and the interior came out like new.the DC3 was a tail dragger not tir-cycle landing gear. north central also used DC3's but i believe they were replaced by the convairs.

In Jan of 1978 myself and Paul Crowley flew from Detroit Metro to Hancock Airport on what was then called the milk run" aboard the "Blue Goose". We must have stopped at least 6 times in route to Hancock. It was our high school senior year and the first flight both of us had been on. We both ended up at Mich Tech and graduated in spring of 1983."

My DC-3 Blue Goose flight memory is that of a company paid interview trip in the spring of 1964, job hunting before graduation. On the return to Houghton, there were few passengers on the aircraft, and little for the lone stewardess to do. So I moseyed to the back of the plane to talk to her. Before landing, she gave me a whole handful of the little cigarette sample packs of the day. (I was an unenlightened smoker at the time.) Learning that Houghton was the end of the line for her, I asked if she'd like to go out that night. Unfortunately, she was already spoken forby the pilot.

I remember that old rattletrap well. I got on in GR to Green Bay and then where it went in the UP was inconsistent. Usually Marquette and then Calumet but not always. Always worried on a bad day if the pilot couldn't see the highway to navigate." I don't think they bothered to install electronics in the aircraft.It was a Convair. Don’t remember the model number. My recollection is they went to DC-9s just before they got bought up by Northwest. But, my memory is what it used to be and that could have already been Northwest when that happened. Just remembered I was very unhappy GR got dropped out of the route and I had to fly to MSP to get to Calumet.The last flight (as a student) was from Calumet to Milwaukee (via Green Bay) for a job interview in the spring of 74."

Gloria and I had our first flight on the Blue Goose in the winter of 58-59. It was the first leg of a trip to Elizabeth New Jersey to interview with Standard Oil of New Jersey at the invitation of Tech Alum Niel Hakola. I forget why we did not make our connection in Chicago and arrived late for the interview after an overnight red-eye on a TWA Electra.The trip home erased any memories of the trip out.At Iron Mountain, we made several attempts to find" the airport and runway in a snowstorm. The process seemed to involve repeated passes in the general area until the tower heard the plane and directed it closer. Another pass and the tower was spotted, and then the next pass and a little Kentucky Windage brought us near enough to the runway to land. We made two attempts from there and could not "find" Houghton or Marquette. In the wait for the third, a bus was offered as an option. I asked. "What are the chances of the plane getting to Houghton this time."The answer should have been expected. "It has to get to Houghton, it has to leave from there in the morning."We took the plane and it landed under a star filled winter sky. On the way home we again drove through near whiteout conditions."

I remember those planes early in my Tech experiences. I flew on the Blue Goose to Women In Engineering 1976 with a group of people speaking in a different language. I was surprised and wondered what type of area I was flying into. I realized a few days later they were traveling to report on the president of Finland's speech at the Hockey Center. My first trip to Tech was also memorable as a city girl from Pittsburgh. I wasn't concerned about traveling alone and making my connections through Chicago. I started to worry when we taxied towards the one room Hancock airport. I was relieved to find someone waiting for me.A few years later on my way back from Christmas break, one of the engines stopped from the extreme cold. I noted it and kept talking to my fellow passenger. I guess after a winter at Tech, you adjusted to whatever happened due to the weather!Needless to say the Blue Goose was instrumental in introducing me to my wonderful and challenging time at Tech! Thanks for the memories!

When I arrived at Tech in 1954 to study physics and engineering, I was told by some upper-classmen to take every course I could that Dave taught. Over the ensuing 4 years I did just that, and those classes, and Dave Chimino's tutelage, formed the foundation of my thinking for the remainder of my scholastic studies and on into a 45-year career in R&D. I adopted and adapted his approach to any and all problems and was truly infected by his essential curiosity. I can not think of any individual professor or teacher whose influence loomed as large for me.I freely admit that I was a student who was perhaps more interested in the fun I could have than in the GPA I eventually achieved and the memberships in the honor societies I held. I hunted and fished, trekked through the Copper Country, played in the band and sang in the chorus, joined the amateur radio group, served on the Lode and Keewenawan staffs as photographer, and engaged in any number of non-varsity sports, including target shooting, gymnastics, and weightlifting. Oh, yes: I attended many a keg party. I tutored underclassmen in physics and other subjects and taught physics lab sessions. Dave seemed to know all of this, but with his undoubting encouragement I did learn to place a very high value on the understanding of the physical world that Tech was teaching me.By the time Tech threw me out of there in 1958, with a shiny, new honors degree in Engineering Physics, I knew that I had a long way to go to complete my education to my satisfaction. So I continued into grad school at MSU and U. of Minnesota. But I also knew that I had enjoyed a period of learning that was the equal of any other in the world. I had had a blast, I had associated with brilliant minds, and I had been taught and encouraged by the very best. What halcyon times!It is perhaps a small tribute to Dave Chimino that I attempt to use what I understand of his basic approach when I serve to teach and coach middle school children in the sciences. In my attempts to open the kids' minds I recall Dave's infectious curiosity and try to engender that same spirit in the kids. I must add that it works like a charm.

I remember him quite vividly as one of the most interesting and conscientious instructors I ever had. He taught (or attempted to teach) physics to us , I believe as Sophomores, and we were probably the biggest bunch of lunkheads he ever encountered.He gave an exam one day and, on the following day came back with the results. The average for the class was zero, based on the grading curve then in use. Mr. Chimino (I don't recall whether he was a PhD at that time)was so distressed by the results he was on the verge of tears and felt that it was failure on his part to properly convey the message to us. He beat himself up over the whole thing when it probably should have been the rest of us getting the beating. He was just one of many memorable professors or instructors that were around in those days, some of whom I only knew by reputation, such as Gilly" Boyd. I did get to experience Walter "Flunkenbush" first hand in Calculus, which I managed to survive somehow, although some of my friends were not so lucky. He was famous for writing equations on the blackboard with the right hand while erasing them with the left hand.Dr. Polkinghorne was then head of the Civil Department and in his lectures on the History of Architecture, which I found fascinating, he would frequently send erasers flying into the audience if he caught someone napping. He had an amazingly strong and accurate arm for an old man. There were others, some of whom made a less favorable impression, that I won't mention, but it may have been my own fault in some cases."

If I remember correctly when asked how he drew the perfect circles Professor Chimino said You keep the radius constant". I had him for Electricity and Magnetism. He gave a oral exam at the endof the year. Physics majors really got grilled; I was Applied Physics so we got off easier, he would coach us a little bit. We used to call him the "Great God Dave". One of the best teachers I ever had!"

Maybe some of you younger engineers don't recall the christening of the liftbridge between Houghton and Hancock.We lived in an upstairs just west of the bridge in Hancock and watched it during its construction. The night before the governor was to christen the bridge, most everyone in Houghton and Hancock was awakened by the long sounds of a ship's horn, or whatever that thing is called on a ship.The only person sleeping was the lift bridge operator who was supposed to sound the bridge's horn to alert the ship that all was well. With no response, the ship's captain put all engines in reverse.After some time, he threw out the anchors dragging up some communication cables between the two cities. Finally, the ship was grounded at the base of the bridge. The next morning the governor broke the champagne bottle on the bridge with a huge ore boot in attendance. No problems, except for a few communication cables and an embarrassed bridge authority. (It's been 50 years, so some of these details may be suspect.)

No lofts in DHH 1955 to 1959. Douglas Tech refers to the Douglas House downtown. Overflow went to the Douglas Hotel. Barracks behind DHH were full and overflow were housed in DHH basement ballroom 'till dropouts left. Everything was full and last of the overflow went downtown. Their walk to the Doghouse bar was inside the building and a real advantage during winter quarter.

This would appear to be the main drag" of the Village of Nonesuch, 5 miles south of Union Bay and 22 miles west of Ontonagon; tucked way up in the Porcupine Mountains. From the 1850's through the 1880's this was a booming mining town with several different periods of development; the last culminating in a $400,000+ investment that didn't work. During its heyday, the village was home to over 350 residents boasting a uniformed baseball team and a marching band! The automobile is heading north on the main road through town, with the remaining workers' dwellings in the 1920's. This was the road linking the mine site on the Little Iron River to the tram that ran 5 miles downhill to their warehouse and ore dock on Lake Superior. This road is now the main trail leading through the village location to the former mines site and is reachable from the South Boundary Road of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park."

I was stationed there from Oct 62 to Jun 65. I remember it very fondly. Great people on and off base. Yes I was the Computer Maintenance guy on the AN/FST-2, which digitized the radar data and sent it to NORAD. Yes, I was on duty during the earlier mentioned OOPS", which brought the wrath of LeMay to CAFS. I've read different aspects of the event and since I was the person responsible for everything on the T-2 that day, here is my version of what happened. I knew OPS had visitors that day and they all were doing various types of training exercises. Just prior to something hitting the fan, I remember a certain 2 Lt coming into the computer room and opening the control bay door. At the time, I thought he was just ensuring the correct settings for the training exercise. (Normally, if OPS wanted to change the standby channel they would notify us.) However, it soon became apparent, he must have switched channels (making the Standby channel now the Active channel, thus allowing training data to now transmit as Live data to NORAD) because it became suddenly very chaotic with people running all over the place trying to figure out what was going on. Once I was told what had happened, I quickly figured out what he did and returned the training data back to the Standby channel. After the event, I remember a lot of people having some explaining to do. I was too low on the pay scale, so my Sgt did the talking for me. (FYI: I later designed a fail safe system preventing this from happening again. If the Training Unit was plugged into the Standby channel, you couldn't make that channel the Active channel. As usual, we keep it quite, since I wasn't authorized to change anything!)Looking over other comments, I remember some of the names, but too many years have passed to remember faces. But as I said before, those years bring a lot of smiles to my face even thinking of the cold weather (-52) and the tons of snow (35'). Maybe, come to think of it, that is why I retired to Arizona, just saying.PS: Yes, I do remember seeing several UFO's during my time there and also remember tracking them on radar and height finders. Those were the days!"

Believe it or not, I was one of the original employees working as a combination DJ and Bouncer during my senior year at MTU. Disco was KING at that time and we kept the mirrored ball rotating and the bodies out on the famous sunken dance floor with all the standards by Donna Summer, the BeeGees, Gloria Gaynor, KC and the Sunshine Band, and the Commodores. I was missing one of the most important pieces of male Disco costuming because I could not afford to buy a silk shirt that could be worn with the top 3 or 4 buttons unfastened down the front. Fortunately, I was good friends with 4 very talented seamstresses who lived in the Plywood Palace apartments across from the MTU Union. Using a sewing pattern they found at Omar the Tentmaker's Outlet Store, they stitched together an authentic custom-made silk Disco shirt for me that I wore proudly at least one night each weekend. Needless to say, Terri, Charlotte, Margaret, and Linda rarely had to pay for a drink while I was on duty at the Longshot!

It was on the lake front just down the hill from Franklin Square. It was run by Milo Slagg and his wife during the 1930-40's. I think Milo died and Julia, his wife, continued to run it. Seemed like the main man in the actual operation was Curtis __________ or something like that. May have been Eggleston whose father was a plumber in Houghton. (as i remember it and it gets foggier each year....) However, the location is right. If you went down the hill from Franklin Square, the old Carroll Foundry was on the right and the Flour mill was just ahead or slightly to the left.

The Hamar Quandt lumber yard was in that area also.

I resided at Smith House 1956-1959, spent my senior year in Detroit interning at Harper Hospital.Smith House was located in what is now the front lawn of the Delta Sigma Phi house. The address was 1611 Houghton Avenue. This was the traffic was rerouted from the middle of the campus. When my son attended some youth programs before becoming a student I was stunned to find it gone. My question is what happened to it? I trust some idiot didn't just terror it down. It was a treasure.I understand it was built by a lumber magnet and had the most magnificent use of wood, a spectacular stairway, woodwork. The main floor had a small library (the birthplace of Phi Lambda Beta, now Alpha Gamma Delta), the housemother's suite that was the original dining room, a butlers pantry and big kitchen. The living room and I believe the dining room had fireplaces. There must have been a bathroom there too.The second floor had five bedrooms, 3 plus 2 joined by a bathroom. There was another bathroom with the biggest tub I ever saw. Up to the third floor which had a large room, originally the game and play room, and a small bedroom, probably for the staff. One bathroom with a tub and another with two showers. Showers were not original. There was also a storage room with hanging space and drawers, The big room had 12 girls living there, yes 12 with 6 bunk beds, 6 dressers and study desks in the dormers, double desks too. There was access under the eves that we used for closets plus the lucky ones got the big closet in the hallway. Upper class girls got the little bedroom, probably to keep a lid of the freshmen.The laundry was in the basement...nothing fancy but serviceable. Oh, yes, I almost forgot there was a BIG wooden fire escape down the back of the house. It was wired to ring in the housemother's apartment when opened. Remember these were the days when there were hours." Weekdays closing was at 10:15 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 11. Also there was a signout sheet, where you were going and time out and in. This would make students of today laugh.Wadsworth Hall opened that first year. The kitchen and dining room were not complete so meals were served in the Union. Three meals a day! Good physical fitness program! One got good at jumping onto snow banks to avoid being mowed down by the snow plow. It workedI have pictures that show some of the interior and will find them, scan and send along if you are interested.There was a very nice house next door I believe that belonged to a dentist, Dr. Aldrich. I was fascinated when an elevated walkway was installed from his front porch with steps to the street. I learned that was for winter snow...don't shovel till it gets that deep. I mentioned the traffic patter change that came after I graduated. College Avenue was a main thoroughfare through campus and the walk to the old Forestry Building was on top of snow pack and mostly near the roof of the passing cars.This really jogged the memory, names of old friends, and real winter. I am still in contact with some of them.It was 1959 that Pryor House was opened, in 1956 Smith House was the resident of all the women enrolled! The rest of the coeds were local. If I remember correctly our freshman class had 45 women, graduated 10. Donalee Graham Flaningam, died two ears ago, and I used to laugh that Dow Chemical hired 20% of the women graduating in 1960.Three or four years ago Alpha Gamma Delta hosted a Phi Lambda Beta reunion. There is a video of the sharing of life in the days of old and the experience and challenges when we went into the job market. We had 2 current coeds join us and it was a history lesson. A good number of our charter group were there. Interesting that so many have kept in touch since graduation."

Yes, I know exactly where it was. I grew up in Houghton on Clark Street. Dr. Fisher (namesake of Fisher Hall) lived at the top of our street. As a young boy I remember him telling me stories of his house being the first built on Clark Street. He said it was only a horse path when he first built. I recall him telling me stories of his friend Thomas Edison. He even had a light bulb in his front room that Edison gave him and as I recall it still functioned. I lived there for the 1st 24 years of my life, graduated from Houghton High then got my BSCE degree from Tech before going on for a Masters in Industrial Engineering at Texas A&M. The Smith House was directly across the street from one of my best childhood friend’s home. It sat approximately where the Delt Sig House is now. It had beautiful rows of chestnut trees lining the street in front. That area, just West of Wadsworth, was really very picturesque. I was sorry to see it torn apart for the new bypass.

The responders are generally correct. The Houghton Flour Mill was located where the park service buildings are now, on the easterly end of their facility, between the tracks and the shoreline. It operated into the 50's and maybe longer. Curt Eggleston was the owner in the 50's and likely to its end. He was active in the community.The foundry mentioned in one of the responses was located to the east on the other side of the tracks, into the hill. I believe the foundry building was the original home of Superior Block Company before it moved to the Isle Royal Sands. The machinery was located within an old wooden building that was likely part of the foundry operation. From an old foundry building to a successful business today, a great example of american capitalism.

Bob Brown is the closest, the Houghton Flour Mill was were the Park Service buildings are now and Milo and Julia Slagg owned it and when Milo died Julia kept the mill running as her husband taught her and the men that worked there respected her. Julia Slagg sold it to Curt Eggleston (he was with the City of Houghton). He ended up closing the mill.

My wife and I married on her graduation day in 1973, and we moved into a triplex rental downtown so I could finish the last term of my masters in business. We spent a very pleasant summer living on Sheldon Ave. before taking jobs downstate. On Friday and Saturday nights, we'd see the same car go by a half dozen times as the locals cruised Houghton and Hancock and back again.Imagine my shock/disappointment when I came back to Houghton a few years later to find our old apartment torn down and replaced by the Quick Stop!

If I remember properly, the Quik Stop (pictured) was a fast-food drive in on the east end of downtown, practically next door to Diamond Mikes. This would have been just west, and across the street, from today's Best Western. At the time, this was the only fast food in Houghton, and perhaps north and west of Negaunee.

That was the fast food restaurant on the south side of Shelden in the first block. Their pancakes were better than their hamburgers.

Bob Carnahan is right. Including the Al Boyer identification. The car was parked away from the fence so we didn't have to shovel it out. There's a dog before you get to the car. He was our Husky mascot.

I graduated in the Class of 1959 and lived in the married housing units in Lower Woodmar from 1957 to 1959. The roofs were rounded, and divided into two families per Quonset. Each family had two bedrooms, one bath, a combined kitchen/living room, a fairly large entry because of the snow being so deep in the wintertime and a little storage space.The round roofed building in the lower row at the far right hand side of picture was the community washroom with sinks, clothes washers and dryers and lots of clothes lines to hang up clothes and sheets, etc. You soon found out the best times to get your laundry done. We just set our alarm for between 12:00a.m. & 3:00a.m. and there was no problem getting all the washers or dryers you wanted!

The image as presented is sideways. At the bottom of the photograph are a series of holes. These holes indicate that this is a horizontal fire tube boiler, very much the same as the boiler system of a steam-powered train locomotive.

This photograph shows Jim Jackovich (left) and possibly Mark Osborne of the Keweenaw Research Center with a bevameter in a project for TACOM (US Army Tank Automotive Command). A bevameter measures the sheer strength and compaction energy of snow, used for modelling snow relative to vehicle mobility. The equipment was developed at the University of Michigan in the 1950s or 60s.

Maude's daughter, Virginia (I think this is her name), married my grandma's brother. They later divorced. I went to see the Titanic exhibit in Grand Rapids, MI yesterday, 2/10/13. I find this story absolutely amazing and continue to look for books that have more information about her. Thanks for referencing a book above. I will see if I can get it through my local library. Not sure where she resided in her later years, but I was disappointed to hear she only passed in 1984. I graduated from high school in 1985 and would have loved to meet her to hear her story.

The street in the picture was actually between the library and Fisher Hall. College avenue was already closed when this picture was taken. The street in the picture was used for parking and was a dead end.

I believe what you see in this picture is meter parking only and it stopped at Fisher and the library. I attended starting in 1978 and was at Women in Engineering in 1976. College Avenue did not pass through campus then.

When I arrived on campus the fall of 1971, College avenue had already been moved away from mid-campus. Segments of the road still existed and were used for parking. The road you see in the picture went between the Library and Fisher Hall, turned to go on the north side of Fisher (the old College avenue) and then turned to connect back to the new College avenue. I had an office on the second floor of Fisher facing north during the mid-70s and got to watch them rip out the road and replace it with sidewalks.

This is a photograph of my paternal grandfather, who we called Pops". I am so pleased to find this picture. My parents moved to Detroit after they married, but we visited my grandparents (paternal and fraternal) in the Copper Country every summer and considered it a second home. Our family will be making another "homecoming trip" this summer. My dad, also Joseph Christopher Andreini, was born at home in South Range, Mich. in 1917. He recently passed away in December, 2010, at age 93, preceded by his brother Geno and sisters Dolores "Koko" (Adams) and Elsie (Gianelli). I have four sisters and two brothers, the older of whom, Joe Jr., passed away suddenly of a stroke on March 5 of this year. My father, his brother Geno, and my brother Joe all graduated from MTU. My brother Michael attended, but I think he moved to the state of Washington and ended up finishing his degree in civil engineering there. My brother Joe graduated from MTU in 1968 with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. His obituary can be found in the Detroit Free Press online. Thank you for providing this beautiful photo and biographical information of my grandfather. "

I would love to know some of the people in this photo as well. My father, Thomas Powers, my grandfather, Thomas Richard Powers, and great grandfather, Michael Powers all worked there at different times. When this picture was taken my grandfather Thomas Richard Powers wouldn't have been in the picture because he left Hancock in 1908 or so and went west. My father and his brothers could have been there as youngsters. My father was born in November 1902 and his older brother, Harold T. Powers in June 1898. Tom Powers, tomp49707@yahoo.com

In the picture of the Fisher Hall electrical panels, I believe that is Dr. McMillin standing to the right. Since Dr. McMillin was head of the Simulation Lab, one might assume these are analog computers.

I believe these are part of the old Analog computer. When I was at Tech in the mid 70's it was still installed but it didn't appear to get a lot of usage at that point. I was told that at one time it was the largest analog computer in the world. It used integrator and differentiator circuits to perform calculus calculations. The digital computer had taken over aka IBM 360/370. We also had a PDP8 on campus - a so called mini computer.

I presume they were to supply different voltages/power to lab benches in the physics labs. I think these were on the first floor, but I’m not sure. Fisher housed some large auditorium classrooms (Freshman Chem /Math /Physics and Friday and Saturday movies), Physics, Math and Computer Science and Humanities. The IBM 360 and its keypunch machines and terminals were on the second floor I think.

What you see are probably analog computer consoles. The Simulation Lab on the second floor of Fisher (in the late 70's at least) contained a variety of analog computers used for simulating differential equations. CS350 Fundamentals of Linear Analog Computation" was a class held in the lab. You "programmed" the computers with knobs, switches, and patch cords, using the panels shown in the picture. The lab was run by Dr. McMillin, that should be him on the right standing up, wearing glasses. His assistant was a very interesting guy named Winsauer - he was way into Robert Heinlein. Grok that. The two of them taught classes in the lab and liked to play "good cop, bad cop" with students. Built character, I suppose. The whole thing was, as you say, vintage."

I don't remember these panels, but the gentleman in the tie in the picture sure reminds me of Prof MacMillan from whom I took a computer architecture course in the early 1960's. All we worked on were analog computers - he was certain that the analog computer technology was superior to the digital computer technology and would continue to be a viable technology if not the winning technology for the future of computers. I enjoyed the course nevertheless and haven't seen an analog computer since.

That is the campus when I was at Tech beginning in 1959. The building in back is Hubbell Hall where I sat through math and physics classes. In the center is Koenig Hall which was the home of the chemistry, chemical engineering and nuclear engineering. The build in from I believe was Kerr Hall where shop classes and engineering drawing classes were held. I spent many hours in all of them. Out in front was the best spot to hitch a ride into town and a corner of the Union Building shows across College Ave.

I remember the campus just like this. In about 1962, several of the radius" walkways were surfaced with wood chips in front of Hubbell Hall, the Chem Bldg. and easterly to the old EE and Mining Bldgs. and out to the concrete walk along College Avenue. Thanks for the nostalgic photo! "

This was when you still had to take your life in your hands to get from one side of US 41 to the other when getting from the Dorm to the class buildings. I lived in Wadsworth for one year, then got married the second year I was up there, and brought my bride up to keep me warm. She is still doing it too, almost 50 years later. We lived in an apartment in Houghton the first year, straight up the hill from the Sheriffs Dept. My Senior year, we were among the first occupants of the new married student housing up behind Wadsworth. Lots of friends and good times up there.

lf I remember right that is Hubbell Hall (referred to as the math building) on the right with the Admin Building hidden from view in the middle and then I'm pretty sure the EE Building in the foreground. The north corner of the Memorial Union can be seen on the left. Further up on the left hidden by the trees would be the Forestry Building. College Ave was a two lane street going right through the middle on the Campus towards Downtown Houghton at that time.Looks like the picture could have been taken from the roof of the then new Civil Geological Building.

You know you are getting old when identifying photos from the archives.I believe the building with the white roofs is Hubbell Hall and the building in front is the old Shops Bldg. that housed mechanical engineering. U.S. 41 is the road to the left of the buildings and heading towards Hancock at the top of the photo.Attending Tech back then and graduating, was one of my most treasured accomplishments.

The dose of personal nostalgia that your newsletters usually bring for me is the photo this month of Tech's early analog computer. It is a model EC-1 Heathkit educational computer, one of, if not the first, in a product line that is one of only two vestiges that remain of the well-known Heathkit do-it-yourself line of consumer electronic kits popular in the '50s through the '70s. The VTVM to the right of the EC-1 is also a Heathkit but not the oscilloscope. When I went to work for Heath as a design engineer in 1957, I was the second degreed engineering employee, the first being Carl Heald, BSEE '55, who was involved in the design of the EC-1. Not many EC-1's were sold so if it is gathering dust somewhere on campus, with the MTU connection, it does have some historical value. Heath Company is still located here in St. Joseph producing self-study and vocational school products in the electronics field.The other vestige referred to earlier is the Heath/Zenith line of home automation/security products sold at big box DIY and chain hardware retailers. Heath was a fun place to work as a single design engineer was entirely responsible for a new product development, even, early on, to writing the assembly manual. Lots of personal pride if the product sold well. But the electronic kit business declined in the late '70s and early '80s due to better and lower cost assembled product imports. I took advantage of another employment opportunity in 1979 but still enjoy the nostalgia seeing Heathkits pictured or mentioned in today's media. -Al Robertson, BSEE '54

If you go up to the 5th or 6th floor (not sure which) of the ME-EM building you’ll probably find some of this stuff in one of the display cases they have along the walls. I know I found the WANG Calculator that we used to use back then for simple math problems, along with a bunch of other test instruments and stuff that I know came out of some of the labs I worked in back when I was a student.I still have and use to this day a Heathkit VTVM (Vacuum Tube Volt-Ohm Meter)…http://www.heathkit-museum.com/test/hvmim-11.shtml…which I built while still in high school. As I said before, I started out at Da Tech as a Double-E but then discovered that ‘Electronics’ hadn’t quite caught-up with the curriculum and besides, I spent the summer between my freshman and sophomore year working as a draftsmen at a company in Saginaw and got a chance to see what both Electrical and Mechanical Engineers did in the real world and immediately switched to ME once I got back to school in the fall of 1966. I still play with old electronic gear as a bit of a hobby and have a couple of radios which ‘glow in the dark’ (meaning that they have ‘tubes’).BTW, I attended the Alumni get-together in SoCal last week and got a chance to meet President Mroz and hear the really interesting presentation by the Friedrich’s.As for the analog computer in Fisher Hall, the really weird one was the Analog/Digital hybrid that ‘Black Jack’ McMillin was working on when I was a student there in the mid- to late-60’s. He was convinced that pure digital computers would never be able to be fully integrated into our ‘Analog’ world and he was looking for that ideal mix, however by the time the 70’s got rolling the Digital era was gaining speed, literally. But that did not mean that Analogs were dead as far as the classrooms were concerned since they still allowed you to solve many mechanical problems in ‘real-time’. In the fall of 1970 we were still using Analog computers in such ME-EM classes as Vibrations, not ones with the big slanted chassis as shown in the photo, but slightly smaller Heathkits which were about the size and shape of a large microwave oven. And as far as the ME-EM department was concerned, they thought Analogs were going to be around for some time as I helped design and layout a new Analog lab, complete with new systems that could be linked to a master console where the instructor could set-up a problem which the entire class could access. This new dedicated Analog lab was planned for the new ME-EM building, then under construction (1970-71), but which I understand was used only a couple of years before being scraped as the Digital era fully took hold. BTW, I started out at MTU as an Electrical major but switched to ME after my first year, but when we started to use those Analog computers suddenly my old EE ‘skills’ were in demand since you had to set-up L-C (Inductor-Capacitor) circuits to simulate the time-dependent behavior of decaying systems like mechanical vibrations and harmonic resonance conditions. Ah, the good’ol days. -- John R. Baker,Class of 1971

The photo you have listed as Spanky’s in the 60’s, I believe that one was where Diamond Mike’s was housed during my stint at Tech -1978-82. I think it closed before I graduated in 82 but I do remember going in there a couple of times. Our best Friday night hangout was the bar at the west end of town, before the lift bridge; that had Double Bubble where beers were 2 for 1. And then after a few hours there, we would go to the Ambassador and get dinner and a Zombie. Oh the good ole days.

I can name three people in this photo. On snare is Kris Gordon, playing the f'n horn is Karen Rebek (sp?), and on sax is Bill Binder. The BA!s were probably getting ready to run through BK before we finished heading down Collage Ave and then up to the SDC. It never failed, one of the junk cars would break down right in front of us on the way up the hill. We would have to inhale all the exhaust, or whatever smell it made, as the occupants either pushed it up the hill or abandoned it on the side of the road. Ah, those were the good days. At least it looks like it was some what warm for homecoming. Thanks for the memories! -- Janna Roome (Pugh) '99 Flax/piccolo

The interesting thing about this picture, it is a bird's eye view". From the height and the angle, the photographer most likely had scaled the old flagpole in order to take it. "

Actually, if the scuttlebutt is to be believed, both could be correct. One version has that the flagpole was the mast from the Brigantine John Jacob Astor" that went onto the rocks in the harbor just north of the fort. There is an 8'3" section of the flagpole/mast still at the fort."

I was stationed at Calumet AFS from 3/58 to 4/59, and worked in the Radio Shack. Have many great memories. Was awarded the Airman of the Month for one month. The area is great for living, even in the Winters. I do remember having to keep my 1951 Ford Coupe in heated storage in town for just $15 dollars a month. Question: Is Calumet still an active AFS? Live in Iowa now, and would like to visit sometime.

I am unaware of there ever being a Green Lumber Co. in Ontonagon. However, there was a Greenwood Lumber Compnay that operated a sawmill there from 1908 until the mid 1920s, and continued to run its lumber camps west of Ontonagon until the mid 1930s to supply wood the Ontongagon Fibre Company pulp mill. This looks to me to be one of the Greenwood Lumber Company camps that was located on the Iron River near Silver City. It was their last camp to operate. I am attaching another image of that camp when it was later being used as a bible and boyscout camp after the end of the Greenwood's logging operations, for comparison.

Incidentally, to add to my prior comment, the Greenwood Lumber Company Locomotive was destroyed in September 1925 in a accident at Green (midway between Silver City and Ontonagon) when several loose Daimaond Lumber Company railcars loaded with logs, racing down-grade from Tolfree, ran into it. A photo of the aftermath is attached. It may very well be the same locomotive pictured here.

Referring to a book titled Copper Country-God's Country" by Thomas Avery & Avery Color Studios, 1973, Library of Congress Card #73-76429. On page 62, there is a photo captioned "Company houses standing empty at Painesdale, south of Houghton on M-26". The photo in this book does show the same small piece of clapboarding missing between the first and second stories, in the middle.I only add this because the description on this page has the words "unknown", and it may be already known where this house was."

I was at Calumet from 11/60 till 5/63. I was in Radar Maint. Was at OKINO 623 ACW Det4 (REMOTE) Okinawa before. Only the FPS20 and FPS6 were on site. Later the FPS26. I had a great time while there. Many good times at the White House during the centennial" year (1961). I have been back to the U.P. almost every year as I married a girl from Lake Linden (home of the 4th of July Parade). I have stayed in touch with some of the guys these past 50 or so years. Bill Miller (best man at my wedding) Bob Lear (still in the Calumet area) Hank Collins; AND Ted Ruest. I have also been to 3 of the 665 reunions held over the years. lots of fun talking to guys that were ther over the years."

This is the No. 3 shafthouse for the Adventure Mine in Greenland. All that remains today is the stone foundation walls which are approximately 12' tall. The No. 3 shaft is 1300' deep and runs on a 45 degree angle.

I made the Anonymous entry on 8/7/2011 10:41:31 PM... Radar Maintenance AFSC (30352) trained at Keesler AFB, Miss. I was working the DMCC (Data Maintenance Control Center) in the Radar Operations Blockhouse when this occurred. DMCC was the interface between Calumet AFS Radar Operations & K.I. Sawyer NORAD. Our search radar data was sent to both K.I. Sawyer & Duluth NORAD Sectors via transmission lines. In addition, Calumet AFS also hosted simulated search radar data using a 70 MM. film device that was sent over separate transmission lines to both NORAD Sectors. The NORAD Sector Centers they then reported to NORAD in Colorado.The search radar at Calumet AFS was the AN/FPS-64 that used leading edge solid state digital processing techniques & data processors and also sophisticated transmitter techniques using both radar transmitters fired at different times on different frequencies. The controls for this search radar was located in Radar Operations. Part of my responsibilities also included monitoring & operating the FPS-64 Console. One weekday morning in the early '60s we had civilians in Radar Ops. from a DC think tank" evaluating the FPS-64 Search Radar. At the same time we also had a simulated mission occurring, this search radar data sent to both NORAD Sectors. A member of the "think tank" operating the console made a HUGE mistake by mixing & sending the "live air" data with the simulated data to both NORAD Sectors. I observed this taking place and told the civilian of his mistake he told me to F___ OFF.We (DMCC) also maintain both actual and simulated alert status on a "big illuminated board" in Radar Ops. We then received DEFCON alert status from K.I. thru authenticated voice transmission raising the DEFCON Alert StatusI called the C & E Officer and requested him to come to Radar Operations immediately which he did. The USAF Captain had the civilians escorted out of the building and told me to straighten things out which was quickly resolved by depressing on button. I then notified NORAD at K.I. Sawyer of the civilian human error that had occurred and that simulated search radar had been mixed in with “live air” data. And that the problem was resolved.NORAD at K.I. Sawyer was aware of & running the simulated mission, however they overlooked/ignored this the error. Duluth NORAD Sector was not aware of the simulated mission running at Calumet AFS and therefore concluded the simulated data was “live air” data and escalated the ALERT CONDITION from DEFCON 5 to DEFCON 2 or 3 and in addition scrambled USAF Fighter Jets and alerted the air-to- ground missile squadron. The USAF Fighter Jets were unable the simulated targets. CONUS NORAD escalated Alert Levels and recalling General Curtis Le May from his off-premise lunch back to the Pentagon.Later in the day the Calumet AFS Commander received a phone call from General Curtis LeMay, the Chief of Staff of the USAF. The site commander was replaced shortly thereafter.My personnel reflections: This point in time in our collective history was the most dangerous time in world history. With nuclear arsenals of both the United States & the USSR able to destroy the world a few times over and the “hair trigger” both sides maintained the possibility of a all out nuclear war was real. Movies & books in that era included “ Fail Safe” & ‘Dr. Strangelove” that had as a centerpiece such as nuclear catastrophic event.Prior to this event, at the site commanders request a Major in the USAF, I brief him on radar operations and the functions & capabilities of each type of radar and other related hardware. In all fairness to him he did have the proper training or electronic background to fully understand what we were doing. However, he was the Commander and fully responsible for all activity, conduct & operation of Calumet AFS. "

I was stationed at Calumet AFS from May, 1954 to February, 1956, when I PCS'd to Armstrong, Ontario. The site was much smaller then, about half the size of the photo. One I recall was a flight of B-47s passing over the base on a mission and one of the 47s had an engine turbine disintegrate while still in or ground clutter. An observer had no ejection site and was found in the wreckage, I think the other three survived.

A follow up to my 7/10/20012 entry: The next morning after this incident full bird USAF Colonel and others from the Pentagon arrived at the radar site. The Colonel interviewed me, he started by reciting a portion of the UCMJ regarding self-incrimination, and if I wished that I could seek council before talking with him. He also informed me that they were going to hang" someone over this incident.I told him I have nothing to hide and we talked and then he reviewed the log book classified as "SECRET". I had a detailed account of this incident from the previous day.Shortly thereafter the radar site commander, a major, shipped out."

The outdoor fireplace" referred to is actually the twin fireplace and chimney of a fourth cabin for the Married Enlisted Men's Quarters. The single-log construction of the cabins did not survive many of Keqweenaw's winters, and all 4 cabins were rebuilt. They were all rebuilt AROUND the original fireplaces and chimneys. If you look at the chimney, it is whitewashed on the first floor, then plane brick in the upstairs loft , and then white again above the roofline, shown by the inverted V of white on the face of the chimney. This photograph goes well with the previous one with a woman nonchalantly cooking over one of the fireplaces without the rest of the building present."

I doubt if the 1844 date of this picture is correct, if indeed it was taken by A.F. Glaza. i am reading his Obituary which states he was born in Bay City in 1892, served at Eagle Harbor in 1912, and then again from 1921 to 1929. This is a much more likely date for the photograph. The Fort itself was built in 1844, so that may be what the date is referring to.

If this is indeed the first Calumet, MI (Red Jacket) Village Fire Station it would be 1875-1886 as a new Fire Station was build in 1886 on Elm Street as a part of the new Town Hall and again in 1898 as the new single purpose Fire Station now being used as the Copper Country Firefighters History Museum. In 1964 the Fire Department was moved back to the Elm Street side of the Town Hall which had its fascia changed in 1900 when the Calumet Theatre building was built next to the 1886 Town Hall building.

This is photo of the surface workings of the Ropes Gold Mine in Ishpeming, ca. 1900-1901. Mining had ceased in 1897, but the new owners, Corrigan, McKinney and Company, reclaimed gold from the tailings by cyanide leaching. The tracks in the foreground carried the one-ton tram cars which transported tailings to and from the cyanide leaching tanks. In the background can be seen the Curry shafthouse, the 1888 mill building, the boiler house, and the 1884 mill building.

I believe the men in aprons in this photo are Charles Strobel on the left and Joseph Strobel on the right. The bar was located on Huron street just above the train station. The bar was famous for not having a cash register. The money was left on a glass shelf behind the bar. Charles and Joseph were brothers and partners in the bar. Later, Charles sold out to Joseph.

This is an early example of adaptive reuse" of a former site. The woman is cooking at a fireplace that was originally one half of the heating/cooking feature of the two-family Married Enlisted Men's Quarters at Ft. Wilkins. This would be the fireplace/chimney arrangement that was once center in Cabin # 4. One can see the 'ceiling' and 'roof line' in the white paint on the chimney: straight for the ceiling, and an inverted "V" for the roof. There would be two fireplaces facing opposite directions so that one chimney would suffice for two living units under one roof. The single-log wall construction of these cabins was not as weather-resistant as the buildings of the Fort's interior that had clapboard siding and finished interior walls. All four Married Enlisted Men's Cabins have been reconstructed around the original chimney/fireplace features."

Along with the new" stone bridge featured in this 1928 photograph, the background features two buildings of the "Range Light" structures run by the U.S. LIGHTHOUSE SERVICES. The white building in the right background is the Range Light and Keepr's dwelling. At the opposite side of the Range Light House (north) is a beacon that is lined up with another beacon located on the shore to guide ships through the harbor's entry passage. The building in the left background was the barn for the Range lightkeeper's garden and maintenance. The barn has since been moved further north away from the road and had also been used as a dormitory for seasonal workers and MTU Archaeologists over the years. Plans are now being formulated for the possible renovation of both buildings and the proposed installation of a Lighthouse/Maritime Museum?Exhibit in the main building that will be adjacent to the Lighthouse Overlook at Ft. Wilkins Historic State Park."

This picture can cause problems if one is trying to find where it was taken from at the Fort. It appears to have been taken from a certain height above the ground from the west side of the Fort as Lake Fanny Hooe borders the fort on the south. However, there is no raised area or building that would allow for this vantage point. In truth, this photogrph is reversed. It is actually looking west from the top of the old Quartermaster's Shop building. Toward Mt. Brockway and West Bluff. I'm not sure when it got 'turned around', but it really should be reversed for it to portray an actual view.

In 1976, the Michigan Department of History, Arts, and Libraries initiated a Living History Role-Playing Program" at Fort Wilkins that features up to five 're-enactors' who inhabit the Fort daily from the third week of June through August. The garrison usually has an 1870's Private with his wife, the Quartermaster Sergeant, the 2nd Lieutenant, and the 2nd lieutenant's wife to engage the visitor in daily life at the Fort in the summer of 1870. The Fort also has a Sutler's Store frequently run by the Store Proprietor, an agent of the Sutler, in the year 1846. In addition, the Fort hosts annual visits by "Battery D" of the Michigan Artillery near the end of each July. This group has a Civil War era encampment with nearly 30 reenactors at the Fort that features musketry and cannon demonstrations as well as craft and military activities.

The island in the center left is Porter's Island, the original site of the Government Mining Permit Office. A canoe landing was on the lakeshore side near the west end. The permit office was on the west end of the island (left)as well and a 'tent city' of would-be miners waiting for their permits started on the shore and eventually became the town of Copper Harbor. The Permit Office was later moved to Ft. Wilkins proper to provide better shelter from the weather blowing off the lake and offer a larger facility to handle the load of permits being filed.

This is St. Joseph Catholic Church in Lake Linden. The caption translated to English reads, Church, convent and rectory of the French Canadians of Lake Linden, Michigan. This is an architectural rendering that depicts the church facing east. Part way through construction of the church it was decided to have the church face west. At this time the design of the church also changed resulting in two steeples rather than the one prominent center steeple as depicted here. The convent or St. Anne's Acanemy is the building with the center steeple. This is where the nuns lived and taught school, it was destroyed by fire in 1928 an replaced by the brick school building that stands there today. The rectory with the hipped roof was replaced by a larger brick building which is connected to the church in the 1950's. My family has attended this church for 6 generations.
