Suspect arrested on threat to black Michigan Tech students

[csziggy]

4. Both my Dad and my grandfather graduated from Michigan Tech

My grandfather when it was the Michigan College of Mines and my Dad when it was Michigan College of Mining and Technology. My Dad's parents were both born in Escanaba, also in the Upper Peninsula so the winters weren't so bad for Granddad. But Dad grew up in Central Florida, then spend WWII in the Pacific and going to Houghton after that was tough, especially for Mom who was from Alabama and who also spent the end of the war in Hawaii!

Among Dad's photos of the winter of 1946-47 are pictures of the rooming house where they lived (in an unheated attic apartment) with two story long icicles hanging from the eaves!
