Here are some winter 1977 images of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park from 9&10 News film footage that we viewed Fri. It looks a little bit frosty on the shore.

The roads in Clare are still covered with ice as I write this blog. Ice storms are a cyclical weather situation in MIchigan. Here are some postcards of the severe 1922 ice storm and resulting flooding in Mount Pleasant. That ice storm was very bad and is documented on a lot of historic postcards and photographs. For comparison I added two current images of the ice outside my CMU office window.

In the 1930s, Black men and women navigated institutionalized biases and racism to secure their pilot licenses. Fifty years later, Ted Robinson, an employee of the Federal Aviation Administration who served as the National Air and Space Museum's historian of Black aviation, interviewed a few of those groundbreakers. On Friday, February 25, 2022, at 12 p.m. ET, Smithsonian historians Dr. Pamela Henson and Hannah Byrne will showcase the Black Aviators Videohistory Interviews conducted at the National Air and Space Museum in 1989 and in Chicago in 1990. The audience will hear aviators Janet Harmon Bragg and Cornelius Coffey share their trailblazing stories about breaking barriers and reaching the clouds. This screening will be the first time some of these videos have been made available online to the public.

Yesterday we were watching a Nov.7-8, 1977 segment of Channel 9&10 New footage on "sno-mo's" (snowmobilers) and skiers being interviewed. There was movement in the background of the interview. We laughed. Here's a brief segment. Enjoy. The film does not identify the Michigan location.
