Tuesday, 1:30 pm: Generations-First-Time Author Chronicles Family Saga from the 1880’s

Generations: A Saga of a Small Town Family relays the story of an immigrant family from 1880s through 2020. The lecture will discuss the process of preparing a first book from concept to completion from a newbie author who learned it all by trial and error. It will also share some of the highlights of the struggles and triumphs of raising a large family on a subsistence farm through the Great Depression. From an Indian raid in 1882, memories and stories are shared in the 535-page volume.

Carol Shafto wrote for a living her entire career as planning and evaluation director for the Northeast Michigan Community Service Agency, writing grants and planning documents for her work and the community (including Northern Lights, Plaza Pool, Alpena Community College’s Workplace Literacy, etc). She is a nationally certified planner (AICP). She served on the Alpena Municipal Council for 16 years including the last four as mayor. She received many accolades including Alpena Citizen of the Year, the Athena Award, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Environmental Hero and Michigan Municipal League’s Honorary Lifetime Achievement recognition. She was president of this association of all 550 Michigan cities and sits on the Board of Directors for life as a non-voting advisor.

Thursday, 11 a.m.: “Ships of the Great Lakes”

Join Pat Labadie in the Briggs Center, reserved in-person attendance welcome, plus the program is available on Zoom livestream.

Ships have plied the Great Lakes for several centuries. Your family members may have immigrated on one of these vessels. Warships, transport vessels and passenger ships have significantly evolved over that period of time. Ships that were 100 feet long are now 100 feet wide and 1000 feet long. Passenger ships are starting to reappear after a long absence on the Lakes. So are we going to see more?

C. Patrick Labadie is a locally famous name in Great Lakes ship lore. He has presented and coordinated ALL Programs in the past. He has previously worked at the Thunder Bay Marine Sanctuary. Much of his past work has been donated to the George N. Fletcher Public Library and is available in the Special Collections Area. Pat now serves on the Sanctuary Advisory Committee.
