Page 30 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • The GLMI would like to thank all of the members who contacted their state represenritive in Lansing. The up and down cycle of funding for cultural institutions has existed for almost twenty years, and we hope that the State of Michigan will finally take a hard look for a permanent solution. As you visit museums around the state, you will find that artifacts, photographs and paintings have been loaned by other museums. We are fortunate that museum directors have the bigger picture in nnnd, and don't resort to regional interests only. A new book in the gift shop will be of interest to members. Hunt's Highlights of Michigan by Mary and Don Hunt provides the reader with well-known places to visit and several off the main highways. In each area of the state, they have researched the waterfront and given information on maritime museums, lighthouses that are accessible to the public, Coast Guard and Lifesaving Stations, boat watching and convenient phone numbers to receive updates on vessel traffic. An added benefit is information on local bookstores that may have boos on local history of small towns. This 808-page book retails for $14.95 Those ordenng by mail should include $2.50 for postage.

Mauthe was built at Great Lakes Engineering Works in River Rouge, Michigan in 1953. During her career, she has never been lengthened nor converted to a seIf-unloader for carrying ore pellets. As the transportation of ore pellets was handled by larger ships, the Mauthe began carrying grain to Buffalo. This photo of the Mauthe was taken on June 29, 1992 by Rod Burdick in Marquette.
