The 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald wreckage commences today.

Given I currently live in the U.P., this moment in history remains a huge deal for us.

Native copper in a sedimentary conglomerate. It is proposed that detrital hematite reacts with copper sulfate solutions to reduce the copper and the fluids carry away the iron and sulfur.

Seeking genealogy assistance: Kenneth Manly Milam.

Kendall David Milam, son of Kenneth Manly Milam and Phyllis Jean Rice Hickley. Born 13 Feb 1960 Winter Haven MI. Resided Florida and Manistique, MI. Died 03 April 2024 in Michigan. Cemetery Fairview Cemetery, Manistique, MI. Life partner with A. S. (living) for 35 years.

Siblings: Robert Bunton, Donald Bunton, Clifford Milam.

I cannot find Kenneth Manly Milam anywhere. Not in residential databases, not in genealogy websites, no obituaries, nothing. The line disappears among the potentially living. (Phyllis is similarly a dead end.)

Does anyone know anything?

U.P. urgent care offers abortion pills after Planned Parenthood clinic closes

When the last clinic offering abortion in the Upper Peninsula closed, a local urgent care started offering abortion pills to help fill the gap. Now it could be a national model for a new kind of abortion access.

Flashback to a 6 month old Zeus! Picture taken in Paradise, MI in the Upper Peninsula. It was his very first camping trip. Now, he does very well camping... His sister, not so much, so camping has been limited recently. Zoo and Zeus turned 5 this October (litter mates).

The ready access to nature and winter sports is what prompted Elizabeth Scott and her family to up sticks from Portland, Oregon, to Houghton on Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula in summer 2021.

With 29% of Michigan’s territory and only 3% of its population, to many, the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) might appear a dream place to start over.#climatemigration #michigan #upperpeninsula

Boom or burden? Climate migration’s impact on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula | Great Lakes Now

Could climate migration bring new life to shrinking towns in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, or will rising costs and lagging infrastructure get in the way of population growth?
