I have to go shoot yet another episode of “High School Bowl” in a few minutes, so I'm taking the cowardly way out and leaving you with a few more examples of what I do in one of my other jobs, that of historical storyteller. As you know, we've been dropping a new season of “Pieces of the Past”, and if you wanna check them out, here are three stories from the past few weeks.
The first? How Marquette's two “suburbs” actually have something in common--
The next is the tale of an event that people STILL talk about, 67 years after it happened--
And finally, the story of three generations of a family, three generations that could not be different than the other. I told the first part of the story on a walking tour a couple of years ago, Beth Gruber from the History Center then did a little genealogical research, and voila.
An epic story we didn't even know existed came into being--
With that, I really do need to get over to NMU. Hope you have a great weekend, and you know what? There's one more history video I do have to share, and I will some time next week.
If only because it's probably the closest I'll ever come fulfilling a dream I have, a dream that physics says will never come true.
