- Cornish tin miners in Cornwall, held pasty in hands but only ate the interior…. My personal history needed to explain my devotion to the U.P. Born in Omaha, but moved to Marquette after Kindergarten. First Thanksgiving experienced snow heaped over my head on both sides of the sidewalk. Moved to Chicago but after the first summer in Chicago my Father bought two 50 foot lots in 1947…cabins a family affair built by family and friends.

- Mother indulged my desire to walk from our Ridge St. home to the breakwater with our dog Peek-a-boo. From our Ohio St . house it was a short hike down a trail to the beach area. After moving to Chicago I had summer jobs, After moving to Lawrence I led countless geology field trips for my students.. My research with students was concentrated there as there is no place in on earth that illustrates such diverse geology in such a small geographic area. Richard Long spent years of retirement here at Middle Island Point and famous architect John Lautner had a place there.

- The iron ranges are areas of high relief owing to the contrast in erosional resistance of the various formations. Ski areas are located there. And the forested ridges are very scenic. the best scenery and geology are found here. East part of the U.P. not shown because there the rocks are Paleozoic sediments like those in NE WI…

- The land around Marquette was known to French missionaries in the early 17th century and trappers in the early 19th century. Peter White was the most prominent man in the town’s early days. New York-born in 1839, by 1852 he was postmaster of Carp River (now Marquette),.. With no money to invest in mining lands, White opened a store for miners and became involved in banking and real estate. By the Civil War, Peter White was the town's leading citizen. In addition to dealing in lands, timber, iron ore, and insurance; he was active in civic and public affairs. At 27 years Peter White was possibly the hardest-working man in Marquette. By 1857 he was a store owner, land agent, postmaster, lawyer, county clerk and registrar of deeds, school board treasurer-and a state representative Development of the area did not begin, however, until1844 When William Burt and Jacob Houghton discovered iron deposits near Teal Lake. In 1845 the Jackson Mining Company was formed.

- The Longyear Mansion, with a distinct history dating back to the 1890s, was originally built in Marquette, Michigan for John and Mary Longyear. used native red and brown stone as the primary material for the exterior of the building. It was built on a hill that overlooked Lake Superior. The house was landscaped by the famous architect Frederick Law Olmsted and was completed in 1892. Around the turn-of-the-century, tragedy struck the Longyears when one of their sons drowned in Lake Superior. Mary Longyear was very fond of the house but couldn't bear to stay in it because every time she looked out the windows she could see Lake Superior where her son had drowned. The Longyears moved to Boston to get away from the tragic memories and to live closer to Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston, but were so fond of the house, they had it dismantled, numbered each stone and moved the entire house 1,300 miles by train in 172 freight and flat cars to Boston. While re-constructing the house atop Fisher Hill in Brookline, they added another 20 rooms to the original house. In time their home became an educational center for the Church, and upon Mary Longyear's death in 1931, the mansion and grounds became the Longyear Foundation, housing a museum and archive of early Christian Science documents and artifacts. The former Longyear residence and its grounds are now the site of the condominiums known as Longyear at Fisher Hill.
- Through its long association with the non-profit Huron Mountain Foundation, the Huron Mountain Club has been the site of a wide range of research in field biology and geology. The research facility at Ives Lake was started in the 1960s, after Ives lake passed from Longyear family hands into Club ownership. I led a faculty field trip to the U.P. and we stayed here for part of the time. I had hoped to leave a legacy of LU students doing research here. George Smith and Bart Destazio on Lakes, Karen Harpp and Marcia on Precambrian geology.
- George Shiras III first saw the woods and waters of northern Michigan in the summer of 1870, when he was 11 years old. Nothing in his later experience would ever dim the impression they made on him—not the trappings of wealth and position; not the influence of the finest schools; not the example of his father, a U.S. Supreme Court justice; not a promising legal career of his own. Not even a term spent in the U.S. Congress, where he introduced the legislation that would become the Migratory Bird Law—securing for Shiras an important place in the annals of conservation—could lure him away for long.
- On November 13, 1870, Louis Graveraet Kaufman was born in Marquette—one of twelve children. He attended school in Marquette and graduated at seventeen years of age. Kaufman then entered the banking world and became enormously successful. He along with others in helping reorganize General Motors.

In 1916 Kaufman reimbursed the Marquette Board of Education $26,000, which the board had paid him for land on which to build a new high school. The board named the future high school "Graveraet" in honor of Kaufman's mother, Juliet Graveraet Kaufman, and the auditorium was named the L.G. Kaufman Auditorium. In 1927 Kaufman established an endowment fund "to bring to the children and people of Marquette some of the finer things in the world of education, travel and art…

- For Wright, Lautner supervised Fallingwater in Pennsylvania and the Johnson Wax Building in Wisconsin. He also oversaw a Wright design for his mother-in-law Abby Beecher Roberts, the Deertrack house in Marquette MI. The Lautners moved to California in 1937 for John to oversee the construction of Wright's Sturges and Oboler houses. He had a Hollywood office and designed some of the homes of the 007 villains homes. He did Bob Hopes’ last house.
- Kona Point Plans for a house on top of the rock cut (across from the Visitor Center in Harvey), called Kona Point, were discussed with John Lautner and land owner Bill Savola. Bill was interested in architecture and had drawn a design based on Wright’s Fallingwater home design. Bill visited Taliesin West and Spring Green. His father and John’s had both played trumpet in Northern’s band. So he wrote John Lautner in California inviting him to the property when he was in town. John visited the site with Bill and proclaimed the view of Lake Superior “magnificent!” Bill wanted a house without the disruption of mullions (the vertical framing separating the windows). John offered to help and sent drawings of a house he had designed for Peter Boli. He also sent this schematic drawing for Kona Point. Bill notes that it is a completely different design than what he planned. He hasn’t built a house on the point.
- The geology across from the Welcome Center is so spectacular that I made this display…… . Because Lautner saw my display, he wanted to have a brass plaque to mount On his Nordgaard cabin to, in legal style language to dissuade his heirs from ever selling the place. Carol and I had lunch at the cabin. He is definitely One of the most unforgettable characters I have ever met.

- Glenn Theodore Seaborg (1912 –1999), a Swede from Ishpeming, ” He spent most of his career as an educator and research scientist at the University of California, Berkeley where he became the second Chancellor in its history and served as a University Professor. He advised presidents from Truman to Clinton on nuclear policy and was the chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission from 1961 to 1971 where he pushed for commercial nuclear energy and peaceful applications of nuclear science. Throughout his career, Seaborg worked for arms control. He was a key contributor to the report "A Nation at Risk" as a member of President Reagan's National Commission on Excellence in Education and was the principal author of the Seaborg Report on academic science issued in the closing days of the Eisenhower administration. After sharing the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Edwin McMillan, he received approximately 50 honorary doctorates and numerous other awards and honors.
- Married for eighteen years to his wife Clare, an artist and seamstress, Chuch chose for his home a simple lifestyle, close to the earth in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. He loved fishing, snowmobiling, four-wheeling, making maple syrup, and spending time in the forest with his dogs. He was an active member of Messiah Lutheran Church, serving in a variety of supportive leadership roles, most often with youth ministry programs. Chuch Magee also served as one of the first volunteers and founders of the Cedar Tree Institute, a nonprofit organization. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards played at his funeral in Messiah Lutheran Church, . Wonder what my Dad would have thought about that. An opportunity to tease my big sister. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger performed at his funeral. My sister attended and ,”thought they were pretty good.”
