Regarding photo D in "Name the Techie",
the musher is Joel ?. He was actually an engineer, not a forester. Greetings
to all from me, Jeff, Emma and Adam.

Regarding photo A, from the 1959 Forester yearbook:
BASKETBALL
In basketball, the Foresters went all the way to win the intramural championship.
The season's league record was eight victories and only one setback. Then
followed four straight play-off wins. The final game was a thrilling triumph
by one point in overtime. The champs had Don Hasler and Elmer Richoff
(editor's note: actual spelling is Rieckhoff) at the guards, freshman
Bill Hillstrom at the pivot and Bob Utter and Al Olson, the high scoring
twosome, at forward. Doing a capable job in relief were Dave Norton, Ray
Theiler and Dan Matero.

Hello,
My husband Tom graduated from Tech in 1963. He was reading this newsletter
from Winter 2002 awith the old pictures. He thinks in photo B, he is the
one standing up behind the 5 other guys. Others he can identify are ?
Gogin, Floyd Roberts and maybe a guy by the name of Franzen.
Tom doesn't
play around on the computer like I do so I said I would send this off
for him!!! He is retired about 4 years now, from the USFS. He was a forester
with USFS since graduating from Mich Tech in 1963. We are currently living
in Duluth, Mn. We really like it here and we are both originally from
Ashland WI so we are close to home again.
Thanks.

You
sure caught me off guard with the forestry newsletter photos! I'm in photo
E, and I'm guessing it's from between 1995-1997. I don't remember everyone's
names, but I do recognize all the faces. Melissa
Piirainen (now Melissa Taylor for the past 4 days), Eric Trott, Jared
?, Terri Schwerdtfeger and her friend, Kevin ? Sorry, but that's the best
I can do right now! Thanks again for the laugh.

Tom Cieslinski has got all of the names right on photo B including Bob
Brisson, who is standing. I am the fifth guy seated, John Franzen. Bob
and I were both 1962 grads, so the picture was probably taken during the
winter of 61/62. I think this bowling team may have been the Forestry
team for winter carnival competition, but I wouldn`t swear to that.
Best regards to 1962 Forestry grads! Forty years sure goes by in a hurry
doesn`t it?!!

Photo B, I believe, was taken during the winter of 62/63. The 4 seated
from left to right are Floyd Roberts, Richard Geiss, Tom Cieslinski (me),
and John Gogin, all class of 63. I don't know the fifth seated. The standing
individual appears to be B. Brisson (not the 63 class).
The photo may
have been taken by Tom Piehl (63), who was by far the best bowler on the
team with close to a 200 average.
Bowling was
inexpensive back then plus I had my own shoes. Even so, I was compelled
to document every penny I spent on bowling (and other activities) for
my aunt who helped pay my way through college. I gave her a monthly account
of those expenses. She always questioned bowling
and pool.
We had a great
time bowling that year, finishing in second place in the intramural league.
Many of these individuals also participated in the intramural golf tournament
in the spring of 63, finishing 2nd. or 3rd. as I recall. But alas, golf
photos never made the Forester deadlines back then and probably don't
today.

Carrie-
Photo
D is from Winter Carnival 1988, not 1989. The sled girls are (back to
front) Meral Jackson, Sue Gresens (me), Sue Hart, and Lisa Anderson. I
don't remember who is the guy is...maybe Dave Neph. I was the editor of
the yearbook that year and recognized that picture right away, since we
used it in the 1988 yearbook.
Thanks for
your work on the newsletter. I enjoy reading it and finding out what graduates
are doing with their degrees. It is interesting to see the different projects
and forestry work that people get into. It always brings up that urge
that I have to get back into some kind of environmentally related work!
I am the Property
Manager at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in Traverse City. I take
care of maintenance issues for the 15 different condominium associations
we have on property, which is 440 owners. Busy work. And typically a thankless
job-I pretty much listen to complaints and fix problems. But I love living
in Traverse City! Canoeing , mountain biking, cross-country skiing-all
right out my back door. Plus I get free golf at the resort-which makes
most people envious. Although, I'm not a big fan of golf! After I graduated
in 1988, I worked in environmental education for two years. Then it is
a long story how I got from that kind of work, to this kind of work! (so
don't ask!)
Take care,
Sue Gresens

I sure recognize the gang in photo "A".
The one guy to the right of the one in the plaid shirt is Dave Norton
of Rhinelander, Wisconsin fame. Dave was a good guy, a true Hodag and
a family man who was too busy to join the TD Club (Theiler DeGenaro)-even
though he wanted too. Jerry Theiler and I wondered what ever happened
to Dave.
This photo was taken, circa 1961 probably after the Forestry Club drubbed
their opponent in basketball.
