Hanley Family Reminiscences of Atlantic Mine, Michigan
This interview was recorded around 2005 on a road trip up to Atlantic Mine, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where my great grandfather, Michael John Hanley (1890-1964) was born. Two of his daughters (my great aunts) share their reminiscences about their travels to visit family there in the 1930s and 40s.

The Reverend Esper Brothers and Their Club - Family Artifact Challenge (Day 30)
In a previous post I wrote about the history of The Leaning Tree Lodge and its importance to my family for several generations.

As the obituary states, he was a well known professor at the Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan and a former head of the Department of Mathematics there. By some he was described as, “one of the greatest teachers to serve on the Michigan Tech faculty.”
