Foggy fall morning
Snowy cold early Winter

Besides taking photographs, Dot has been busy with her orchids. This year, she won two American Orchid Society awards with her Paphiopedilum Wossner Black Wings 'Wacousta' AM/AOS (right) and Maxillaria johniana 'Memoria John Potter' CHM/AOS (above).

Clouds Tangled in the Trees

Lee says the Historical Society of Michigan was very good to him this year. It used three of his stories in MICHIGAN HISTORY Magazine and four articles in its quarterly CHRONICLE.

Here he is doing research at the Crawford County Historical Museum in Grayling, MI, on the oldest known planted forestry plot in North America, the Beal Forest Plantation.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So may these photos all tell you we think of you and wish for you the merriest of seasons and best of health and happiness for the new year.
