I would be interested in knowing what you have to say about the PCB contamination. Has it made it harder for people to enjoy the river and in what way? Are businesses suffering from the contamination and in what way? This forum is very neat and I hope it works out and someone responds.

comments: Hello
This is Soojung Han from South Korea who visited in Kalamazoo last year.
I told many people about KZ and promote KZ and Michigan when I came back to South Korea.
I told many people any students who graduate KZ public high school can go to free university
in Michigan. Some South Korean students want to go to KZ school after they heard about it from me.
Some of them want to know how they can go to KZ public school and are interested in that policy.
So could you tell me how South korean students can go to KZ public school?
Could you tell me what documents South Korean students need to hand out or anything for going to
KZ public school? One middle school student want to go to KZ public high school next year if it
is possible.

"Hello Larry,
I've just checked out that you are looking for informations about a guitar company based in Kalamazoo in the 70's and 80's called "Sunrise guitars". I've got a guitar as well and I think they very well build instruments. Did you get some further informations about the company and the history?The only thing I know is that the company was build up by a guitar luthier whos has worked for a kalamazoo guitar company (maybe Gibson or Heritage guitars).
By the way, do You havwe a photo of your guitar?"
All the best from Germany

comments: I am trying to make contact with a former 4-H member who visited us ( The Briceno Family, Punta Gorda,Belize ). This visit was done in June/July 1976 and we were the host family. We communicated by mail for a few years and then stopped. The 4-H student name was Theresa Hayes and may be married by now and may have even moved from this address (6743 Hickory Pt.Dr. 49002) Her parents may still be living at the same address. I believe she had a sister whose name I do not remember and a brother named Todd. She was in high school at that time. She had a colleague by the name of Barb Thunell who was from Quinnesec in the UP also. After her return to the US she also found me a pen pal by the name of Ross Ambrose who was from Portage. We have since ceased corresponding also.
Teri as she was known was acquainted with my younger sister whose name was Yolanda Briceno who still lives in Belize.
I would like to see if it is possible to re-establish contact with Teri or a member of her family. Do you have any suggestions or can you help in anyway?
n.b. Teri did attend Michigan State Uninversity in East Lansing.

potential adoptive families would see the gallery, which consists of 3 display boards that are 8 ft

I have always wondered the following: Across the street from Hardings Market at Oakland Drive and Parkview Ave was a pizza resturant. Behind the resturant was where the people of the Oakwood neighborhood could go swimming, but it was in ruins when I lived in Oakwood. Did it ever get cleaned up?
In addition, what churches went into the old Oakwood Methodist Church next to Hardings Market, and the old Oakwood Bible Church on Amerherst? I belonged to the Boy Scout troop that was sponsered by the Methodist Church.
I attended Oakwood Elementary. I heard the school was being closed down. What has been done to the building and the property?

comments: I have just recently inherited some photos (amoung other stuff) and am trying to locate & give these photos back to where they may have originated. Was there an E.R. High School around in 1920 & 1921 ???? What I have is 2 old mounted photos of the "E.R.H.S. 20-21" basketball teams. 1 is the boys team & 1 is the girls team. "E.R.S.H. 20-21" is painted on the basketball. I do not know if these pictures belong to a high school in Michigan or to a high school in Illinois.
The photos belonged to Norwegians. Here is the story. In the late 1800's, or very early 1900's, Mr. Johan Telstad (aka John Telstad in American & Johan Tilstad in Norway), along with his wife Marit Telstad (or Merit, or Maret - maiden name Saetherbo in Norway, changed to Seterbo in American), came to the USA. With them they brought their 1st daughter Marie Telstad (Marie Tilstad in Norway). I believe they first settled in either the Evanston, Illinois area or the Traverse City/Suttons Bay, Michigan area. In the early 1900's, their 2nd daughter was born. Her name was Eda Telstad (Ida Tilstad in Norwegian). Anyways, by the time Eda reached age 14, both their parents had passed away. Marie, Eda's older sister, was granted guardianship of Eda. Then in the early 1910's or 1920's, Marie had her cousin come from Norway, to the USA. His name was Magnus Saetherbo in Norwegian. Changed to Magnus Seterbo in America. Magnus, Marie, and Eda never married & never had children. So there was no family heirs. From what I can figure out by searching through the boxes full of stuff, Eda went to school in Evanston, Illinois to become a teacher. I believe that she taught school in Kalamazoo, Michigan for a few years. Magnus always lived with Marie & Eda. They owned homes in Kalamazoo & in Suttons Bay. Eda passed ways first, while she was a teacher in Kalamazoo. 10 years later, Marie passed away. Magnus saved his cousins belongings and memories.
My father, also a Norwegian (son of Theodore Anderson & Rachel Anderson - maiden name Setterbo) still lives in Suttons Bay & he knew Marie, Eda, and Magnus. I met Magnus when he as an older man & I was young. Before Eda & Marie died, they were friends of my Grandmother Rachel's sisters (Louise Setterbo). Louise Setterbo married Leslie Dobson & they lived in Suttons Bay. Magnus remained friends with Louise throughout all the years. I can't recall offhand when Magnus died. But when he did, Magnus, Marie, and Eda's things went into storage at Louise Dobson's house. Louise Dobson just died a couple months ago. Her children gave the boxes of Magnus, Marie, and Eda's things to my Dad. My Dad picked out a few things & gave all the rest to me.
Amoungst all the photos are these (2) E.R.H.S. 20-21 basketball team portraits. They are not exactly what I would call black & white. They are actually shades of brown. And they are quite clear in detail. 85 years later, it would be nice to see them hang on the hallway wall, back into the school in which they came. But I have not been able to figure out what the E.R. (in ERHS) stands for, so I do not know which school these came from. In the boys team photo there is 9 boys & 1 adult male coach. In the girls team photo there is 8 girls & 1 adult female coach. One of the girls resembles Eda Telstad, but I am not sure if it is her or not. Was your high school around in 1920? Do you have a record of an Eda Telstad attending your high school?

comments: My late mother, Marie Motter Palmer (born Marie Adeline Motter), 1911-2004, was born in Kalamazoo. I believe her parents, my grandparents, were also locals. They were Laura Edith Rowson (1883-1974) and Ralph Daniel Motter (188?-1952). My granparents moved to Pittsburgh, my birthpalce, when Mother and her sister, Arline Motter Lewis (1908-1990)were small, 1920 or before. I know virtually nothing of the Motters, but know Grandma's mother died when she was four and she was raised by her grandmother, Grandma Geiser, on a farm probably in the area. I believe the farm was taken over by her cousins, Nev and Beth, but though I have their picture and a strong memory of their bright yellow farmhouse, I don't know their last names. I do know the family names were Geiser, Motter, Rowson, Snyder, and (I think) Balsch. Grandma's father was Welsh and immigrated at age 12 to work in a coal mine.
I am an only child, unmarried, 56. I have no one left to ask for family information. If anyone knows anything of any of these people, I would appreciate a reply.

I am a teacher that has relocated to this area, and am currently staying with friends in Sturgis until I find a place in Kalamazoo that will welcome my 3 great canine companions.(Borders) I would really like to find a leash -option situation; I love this area and want to own a home. It's discouraging to read the so many ads for rentals that say "NO PETS." They are my family! My dogs need a secure, fenced yard. They are well -trained, and active in canine sports, so I'm looking to be close to lots of fun human/dog activities.
Can any dog lover out there help?
