  At 48:25 in, Tim Foster points out the ladies on the Ann Arbor No. 4. Left to right, those are Lucy [Johnson] (m. Stiles) Wilson; her daughter Oral [Stiles] Wilson who married the ship's cook, Newell G. Frary; and I believe the woman on the right is Flora Johnson, Lucy's sister.

  What year did Morton Neff film the Cold Creek smelt dip? I lived there & born in 1951. I was cray fish catching when he came to talk to me & my brother. We had to be around 8 or 9 yrs old by then.

  JoAnne and Terry were two amazing wonderful people who truly loved life. The times I spent at this barn helping JoAnne with chores or gardening or just enjoying the animals and beauty of this land and barn will forever remain in my heart. This land and the Herban barn will forever be a monument of Frankfort. We used to say " if you past the big red barn you have gone to far". It was a gathering place for people to bring their friends and family to see the barn and animals, all were welcome. I sure hope whomever acquires this beautiful piece of history, appreciates all the hard work and love that went into creating such a beautiful place.

  I remember going to the mouth of the Platte river in the 1960s. I was a kid and it was hard to stand in the current, and it was cold, but fun. I would say that quantities were held to maybe a 100 smelt for the family in a night. This was not the huge runs depicted in the video. We built a fire along the shore and had a gas lantern to get warm by. Our father held the lantern giving the kids a chance to dip. I think we took turns holding the lantern giving everyone a chance. Leaky waders and very cold feet, the smell of fresh spring air and fish, so much fun. We did dip one year in Cold Creek in Beulah after it was no longer legal. Teenage mischievous fun.

  Ann Arbor #5 was considered to be the best ice boat. It therefore was the preferred winter boat to use going across Green Bay on the Menominee trips, as the ice was thicker on the Bay as opposed to the main Lake.

  I'm 73 yes old now and I remember the Point Betsie lighthouse with found memories. Around 1957 my grandparents bought the cottage next to it on the north side. They sold it sometime in the early to mid 70`s. Through out those many years the 11 grandchildren, their parents and many many friends spent time there. It wasn't unusual to stay for several weeks at a time and then come back again and again. They always made room for everyone. Around 1965 the cottage was moved back further into the dunes as the bank had finally reached the front porch. I remember helping grandpa and grand uncle Rulo painting the new addition. Where the cottage was moved to is now out in the water. This place was heaven for us kids as we had the whole north beach to ourselves and the various dunes were our giant sand box. I left in 68 for the military but I have visited about 4 times in the last 50 years. About 4 years ago my sister bought a house in the hill ion the north side of Crystal Lake and relocated from Lansing a couple of years later.

  I know you didn't talk much the service between St. Ignace and Mackinaw city but on Mackinaw Island near the east sea wall appears to be a two distinctive docks for large ships that would butt up to land to load/unload something? I have not been able to find anything for I don't know if you can find something?or if you know anything about this?

  8:59 Spray is going over the pilot house of Ann Arbor 17, not solid water, important point here. I was in the Coast Guard and spent some time on the North Atlantic up by Greenland plus I have lived my whole life next to lake Michigan and have been a sailor since I was a little kid. Wave height vs spray makes a big difference. Spray obstructs vision and freezes but solid waves/ water can destroy steel structures and sink ships. Steam volume not pressure is what determines how much auxiliary equipment is reasonable.

  Thank you, Tim. This was fascinating. For years, my late grandpa loved watching the big ships between Two Rivers and Kewaunee. I wish I could share this presentation with him. He would be so proud of these seamen and ships... And very respectful of our beautiful, but mighty, Lake Michigan...
