Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Here are some of the responses: The Sebewaing Township Library purchased a book last year about the Pointe aux Barques Lighthouse written by a fellow Michigander, Captain Ron Burkhard. He may be interested in doing a lecture and presentation. His contact information is rburkhard(a)charter.net. Wayne S. Sapulski, Great Lakes Lighthouse historian, author ( https://tinyurl.com/yatlby9z) 734-953-8943 Wsapulski(a)twmi.rr.com Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Assoc. They have a speaker's bureau, and here's their site: https://www.gllka.com/speaker.html Dianna Stampfler of Promote Michigan gave a presentation on Haunted Michigan Lighthouses a few years ago here at Carson City Public Library. She was excellent. She also gives a presentation on women lighthouse keepers (Michigan). I know that Terry Pepper from the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association - up in Mackinac City - is a great speaker on the subject. He may not be traveling much now - he has some health issues - but he might know people in SE Michigan who can help. They can be reached here: http://www.gllka.com/index.html You might be able to get someone from Save Our South Channel Lights to talk to your group - http://www.soschannellights.org/.

He may be interested in doing a lecture and presentation. His contact information is rburkhard(a)charter.net. In 2016, Mike and Penny did a program on lighthouses with a focus on photography and what they had to do to "get the right shot" for us. We had a good turnout and they were very easy to work with. I don't know if they still do programs. I don't know if that was the type of focus you are interested in but thought I'd send the contact info along.

When I took his public history course, we all did final projects related to the lighthouses of Michigan so he may have something of note or know someone who does.

NEWS RELEASE: WINNERS OF THE 2018 UPPER PENINSULA HISTORY AWARDS ANNOUNCED
by HSM Info 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

Historical Society of Michigan 5815 Executive Dr. Lansing, MI 48911 Contact: Nancy Feldbush (517) 324-1828 <mailto:hsm@hsmichigan.org> hsm(a)hsmichigan.org For Immediate Release WINNERS OF THE 2018 UPPER PENINSULA HISTORY AWARDS ANNOUNCED LANSING, Mich.-The Historical Society of Michigan announces the winners of its 2018 Upper Peninsula History Awards, which will be presented during its 69th annual Upper Peninsula History Conference in St. Ignace, Michigan, June 22-24, 2018. Each year, the Historical Society of Michigan presents two awards at the Upper Peninsula History Conference: the Charles Follo Award for individuals and the Superior Award for historical organizations based in the Upper Peninsula. The awards recognize individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the preservation and promotion of Upper Peninsula history. The 2018 Charles Follo Award winner is Lindsay Hiltunen of Hancock, Michigan. Hiltunen transformed the Michigan Technological University Archives and enhanced the access, research, and outreach programs. As the university archivist, she introduced the university's archival collections to K-12 students with school programs and activities, spearheaded projects focusing on underrepresented aspects of Upper Peninsula history, and worked with newsrooms to introduce Upper Peninsula topics into stories and news features throughout the state. The Charles Follo Award, established in 1979, is named in honor of Charles Follo, a school teacher from Escanaba who worked to establish historical societies and promote the history of the Upper Peninsula. The Historical Society of Michigan established the Superior Award in 2006 to recognize historical societies, museums and other historical organizations that have preserved and advanced Upper Peninsula history. This year's recipient is the Center for Upper Peninsula Studies (CUPS) in Marquette. Since its founding in 1994, CUPS has provided public and scholarly attention to the distinctive, rich culture of Michigan's Upper Peninsula through the collection and transcription of oral histories, hosting the annual Sonderegger Symposium, the publication of "Upper Country: A Journal of the Lake Superior Region," and serving as a press for monographs specific to the Upper Peninsula. The Upper Peninsula History Conference pays particular attention to U.P. history topics and themes. The conference moves to a different location in the Upper Peninsula each year to explore that area's heritage. The 2018 Upper Peninsula History Conference's major sponsor is The Meijer Foundation. The conference is also sponsored by the Michilimackinac Historical Society, Mackinac State Historic Parks, the Museum of Ojibwa Culture and St. Ignace LaSalle High School. The Historical Society of Michigan, publisher of Michigan History and Chronicle magazines, is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # This e-mail is sent to our members and friends to keep you updated on historical activities and opportunities to learn more about our state's history.

Fw: Free Used German Language Books
by Steven Bowers 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

WSU German department has some Free Used German Language Books. Spreadsheet attached. Please contact Andrew Smith with any and all questions: ge8788(a)wayne.edu I suppose we could do RIDES delivery if someone only wanted a specific title or a few. Otherwise you would have to arrange for pickup at WSU. -Steve ________________________________ From: Andrew Smith Sent: Monday, May 21, 2018 2:57 PM To: Steven Bowers Subject: German Book backlog The German department, (back when it was still combined with the slavic department, I believe about 10 years ago) bought ~15 moving boxes worth of German language books from the Detroit Public Library when it was clearing out some of it's foreign language collection. The content covers a range of subjects, fiction and non-fiction, (some are even just english and american pulp/romance fiction that has been translated into German,) but they have sat in a back office for about the entirety of the time since their purchase, and I've been tasked with clearing them out. The German faculty has been contacted, (and contacted about it before me,) but by the end of next week, June 1st, the books have got to be moved somewhere. The bibliophile/archivist in me wants these to go to somewhere better than recycling, but that is the last option. A list of the titles and authors will be forth coming. PDFs of all the covers have been made. If any individual, institution, or library wants/has an interest in taking these books, they are welcome to do so. I do not believe the Classical and Modern Languages department can get funding for them to be mailed somewhere, however, transport could potentially be arranged. Email me if you, or anyone, is interested. --Andrew Smith Student Assistant CMLLC WSU
