On our way in Wisconsin, we tried Culver's, a local chain highly recommended by one of Alan's friends. Yum! And then Alan discovered that they had just expanded their reach and opened one local to us in Ohio.

First board meeting, held in a classroom at Michigan Tech which was not far from our hotel.

Paul Hlava's talk on the geology of the Keweenaw Peninsula.

lunch at Armando's in town, a few blocks from the hotel. We all had to try the local pasties. These are traditional miners' food, a stew baked into a pastry crust that's easy to take to work for lunch.

Shelton at Michigan Tech. Jay Abel Hubbell was the prime mover in getting the state to establish the Michigan Mining School in 1885. He donated land for the school's first buildings. The first of those early buildings was eventually named for him. Hubbell Hall was built in 1890, and demolished in 1968.

Dinner with Shelton's family and the Hlavas at Armando's.

Dessert: Paul and I split some pie, to reduce caloric input.

Paul's signature $2 bills for the tip.

Another Hubbell group at the next table over: Harwoods, Kotulas, and Eric Hubbell.

Scenes at the hospitality suite.

Jan Fulton checking up on the merchandise in her role as treasurer. She hoped to unload a bunch, and then the rest will be shipped to the Hubbell Center in Iowa for future fulfillments. Jan is getting out of the business of housing Hubbell merchandise in her warehouse.

One night Eric and I picked up pizza and salad from Domino's and brought it back to the hospitality suite for dinner. Margie improvised mixing the salad in one of the silly hats.

Kitty and Dorcas still working hard on the fine points of the new by-laws.

2nd family meeting, this time in the ballroom at the hotel.

Margie giving her talk on Richard Hubball's origins: myth, legend, facts

Margie turns over the gavel to Matt Hubbell.

Dorcas is officially no longer the secretary so she has time do the fun stuff now!

2nd board meeting.

getting ready to take the group picture

Laura, Martha, Rich working hard to finish the puzzle.

Katy and Dorcas joined Rich, but I don't know if they actually completed it.

The Ranger III is the largest piece of moving machinery owned by the National Park Service. It plies the waters of Lake Superior from Houghton to Isle Royale National Park. The trip takes 5 hours each way. The IRNP headquarters building was right below the windows of the hotel, so we got a good view.
