    I was going through some of the stuff I got from dad. There were a lot of medals, tokens, and other things like that. I thought I would share some of the local Michigan stuff. Anyone else have some neat local items they would like to share?

    Those are pretty cool! I was born and raised in Alpena, MI and got my BA and Masters at Michigan, but am currently in SW Ohio. I really miss being so close to any Great Lake.

    Oh nice! I had many a great times in "the ghetto" (student houses) at UofD, as far as I can remember. I think a lot has changed since then. St Paddy's day was nothing but a 3 day riot with burning couches and getting hit with a baton from a cop on a horse. :dead-horse:

    Thanks.
    I do have some good memories of your state. I used to go salmon fishing on the Betsy River back in the late eighties and early nineties.
    I saved this souviner from one of those trips.

    You know Dan, you didn't get to experience the amazing things MI has to offer. Especially in the summer. I feel bad for anybody who doesn't live 5 minutes from a big beautiful lake.

    I know. I did get to see some of the lakes but it was always way windy and I got demolished by sand. Now the biggest body of water I live by is a creek :(

    I live 6 houses off the water near here. Each year we try and break the world record for most boats tied up togethor. It's so much fun I can't stand it.
