I too listened to WLS and WOWO and my Uncle was the chief engineer at WOWO. And I also got luggage and no party upon HS graduation but I needed the luggage as I was leaving on the class trip to NY and Washington right after graduation.

  Hey All, Merry Christmas?!?!?! We're getting hammered. Snow started about 4pm today. Really slick outside. Ol' Mom nature is not happy. This is supposed to last until tuesday. Most of it is supposed to be near Arnold and Rock area. Up to 28". Feels like deer season...anyone want to go deer hunting? Lol.

  I also would listen to WLS. Couldn't get it until late though.  I think I was able to pick it up around 9 P.M. I remember having a transister radio also. It was about 6" long, 3" high, and 2" deep. Had a long strap. I would carry it all over...except school of course.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Just looked out. We have about 10" already...Holy Waugh!!!  If it keeps snowing like this we may have 18" to 24" by morning. Don't have the high winds yet. Up to 40-45 mph. Dang...snow was almost gone too. Think Ill do like the bears....hibernate!

  Hey all. Well.....we survived the storm. I have about 2 ft in my yard and 4 ft + in front of my car from the plow. Sure am glad I have a front loader. Snowblower would not have done well as wet and heavy as the snow was. Did 4 driveways in about 45 minutes.  Be safe out there.

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - The results are in for a survey conducted by the Marquette Area Public Schools Board of Education for the school nickname.

The Marquette Area Public Schools Board of Education appreciated the public’s participation in its recent survey used to gather input on our high school nickname. 

Consumer Connections out of Green Bay, Wisconsin, conducted the survey with the following facts and results: 

- 21, 241 surveys mailed out to district registered voters
- 4,799 valid votes received
- 1,607 cards returned undeliverable by USPS due to address changes
- Voting options were randomized
- 59.012 percent supported keeping current nicknames
- 40.988 percent supported seeking a new nickname

MAPS Board of Education and administration personnel says they are currently focused solely on meeting the needs of our students and community in dealing with COVID-19. 

The Board will address the results of the survey, as well as a vote bringing closure to the nickname debate, at a later time more appropriate to addressing this matter. 

This will be scheduled with adequate notice and conducive to full public participation.

 This is a great video....
So, enjoy it. For those of you who experienced the iconic 1950's, a decade that will never be repeated
The cars arefantastic
The music was nostalgic.
We were rich and did not know it! 
We were innocent and thought we were experienced.
We were very fortunate to have lived in such an era.
Enjoy the past as revealed here.
Who knows what the future will bring?
 
PS: The secret's out! They actually show where the gas filler is on a 56 Chevy! (Turn up your speakers…:)

  Thanks, Don, for the memories. Brought back memories of the "good old days". I remember one where I could have died if I fell. A friend and I climbed the face of the "rock cut". Long climb...and VERY foolish.  I remember the school dances also. I never could do the fast songs. That was a time when boys and girls actually held onto each other. Now...THEM were the days. Lol. I remember the aluminum disc we used in the winter. Never could keep facing front. Lol.

Obituary

NEGAUNEE TOWNSHIP, MI - Kathleen Marie “Kathy” Liupakka, age 73, of Negaunee Township, entered eternal life Tuesday, April 21, 2020, at UP Health System - Marquette in the loving care of her family.
Born September 27, 1946, in Marquette, a daughter of Robert and Madonna (Sarasien) Trewhella, Kathy was raised in Marquette. She attended St. Michael Grade School and Graveraet High School and was a member of the first class to graduate from the newly completed Marquette Senior High School in 1965. She married Richard Leo Liupakka and together the couple made their first home on Cleveland Street in Marquette, where they raised their three children. Throughout the years, Kathy was employed at the Gossard factory in Ishpeming, at the Crossroads four corners gas station, and the Big Boy Restaurant. Her longest employment, however, began at the former Marquette County Airport and continued at the Sawyer International Airport where she was employed as a tech specialist, involved in airplane repair for over fifteen years. She retired in 2013. Kathy was a member of St. Christopher Catholic Church where she worked on the pasty crew and where her children attended St. Christopher Grade School in their younger years. She cherished time spent with her family and the many cookouts that included close friends. In her leisure moments, Kathy enjoyed reading, playing Skip-Bo with her friends, and especially watching her granddaughter, Cheyanne ride her horse.
Kathy is survived by her husband, Richard; her children, Tamatha (Dale) Larson of Harvey and Shawn Liupakka of Negaunee Township; her grandchildren, Cheyanne and Laine Larson; sisters, Mary Trewhella of Marquette and Jackie (Larry) Bean of Canton; brothers, Robert (Marilyn) Trewhella of Big Bay and Mark Trewhella of Big Bay; her aunts, Rose Trewhella of Marquette and Loraine Syria of Abilene, TX; many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Kathy was preceded in death by a son, Timothy Liupakka; a brother, Michael Trewhella; and uncles, Mel Syria and Jim Trewhella
Services will be held at a later date.
Fassbender Swanson Hansen Funeral and Cremation Services is serving the family, where condolences may be expressed online at fassbenderswansonhansen.com

  Rest in peace, Kathy and Bonnie....and all those classmates who are gone before us. May our Lord and GOD be merciful. 'Till we meet again. May GOD's peace and healing be with us all in these trying times.

I am so sorry to hear about Kathy's death. I stayed connected with her because my sister Julia Liubakka's husband was a first cousin to Kathy's husband Richard.  My brother-in-law passed away the summer after my dear friend Bonnie Z.  Lots of sadness in this earthly life but also a lot of joy.  I hope this darn virus starts to go away.  Here in Virginia stay at home is until June 10th.

Hi all! Been a while since I've been on the site. Sorry to learn of the passing of Dennis & Kathy. I did not really know Dennis...but Kathy was a kind & gentle soul. Both died way too Young...& of course Bonnie before them.

Don Saunders: TX for the video! Could watch Elvis forever.

We are still in Earp, CA biding our time. Planning on returning home to Rock after May 10. We were going to store the RV out here, but changed our minds. If we pull it back we can eat, sleep,& use the bathroom & have no contact with people, except to pump gas. Hubby will be masked & gloved to do that...will even sterilize the debit card. Wow! Never thought we'd be doing this in our lifetime!!

I sincerely urge everyone to stay safe & healthy through this Corona ordeal.

My prayers are with you all for I love my classmates...each & every one of you. God Bless.

Karen: I got luggage too!

I hope and pray all of you and yours are doing fine and dandy during this time of uncertanity and stress!!  I think back those 55 years and all we did - or at least all that I can remember!!  lol  I look at my grandson and all he is missing out on not having graduation ceremonies and parties.  I guess you can't miss something you have never experienced.  I got to drive him in the senior parade all around the town of Hopkins -  population 612.  It looked like everybody was out lining the streets with banners and flags and playing the fight song.  I was impressed at how many called out my grandson's name!!  It was an evening I will not forget.  And now I can remove 'be a float' from my bucket list!!  

Be safe everyone!!

Sorry that a lot of you got emails from me yesterday.  It was a scam.  I lost my address book and my email was frozen.  About 35 people called me about it.  I spent 2 hours on the phone with comcast to fix it.  (Hope it's fixed.)  They, comcast, told me to contact the police so that is one of my projects today along with redoing my address book.

Hope everyone is staying safe.

Carol Aho Slone is very ill and it is with a heavy heart that I share with you who are not on Facebook that her son, Derrick, posted she is in ICU with cancer in her pancreas, liver, and abdomen and there is evidence that her kidneys may be shutting down. Please keep Carol, her husband, Vern, and son, Derrick in your thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.

Carol gave me permission to share information with the class.
