Friday, 1/22

 I promised you a video today, and a video you'll get.

“Skiing, Skating, & Slapshots”, the program Jack & I put together for the Marquette Regional History Center, is Jack's baby. It was his idea, mostly his pictures, and his stories. To use a historical reference, I'm kind of the Ed McMahon to his Johnny Carson on this one. Aside from cracking jokes and editing and producing the whole thing, I also put together a bunch of interview segments with people from Don Hurst to Carol Urbiha, people who actually skied or skated back in the day.

So I'll share a short segment featuring the voice of Nancy Henderson, talking about the night the placed called  Hockey Temple of the 50s or the Church of North Marquette, the Palestra, started to burn. It's just two of the 100 minutes of the show, which is available in its entirety from the History Center as a download or a DVD.

Hint hint.



Enjoy the clip, and have yourself a great weekend!
