Program Recommendation - Michigan Mysteries
by Danielle Hansard 05 Apr '22

05 Apr '22

Hi all, I'd like to share the contact information for Ross Richardson, an author and shipwreck hunter that we've had twice now, who I highly recommend. Ross has done two programs for us: Michigan Mysteries and Seeking the LORD, the Search for the JARVIS LORD Shipwreck. He's willing to come in person or over Zoom, and we got great patron feedback about the content of his presentations and engagement with the audience. He's willing to travel and charges for mileage, but the price is worth it in my opinion. His website is https://michiganmysteries.com/ and his email is nmiwrecks(a)gmail.com<mailto:nmiwrecks@gmail.com>. Best, Danielle ---------------------------------------------------------- Danielle Hansard Reference Librarian William P. Faust Public Library of Westland 6123 Central City Pkwy.
