Lake Superior Carvings

Hello and welcome from me, Larry Gilbert, and my wife, Pat.
You are in "Our U.P.", the section in
Lake Superior Carvings dedicated to our family, friends, fishing,
our hometown, and of course, our favorite peninsula!

For those of you who may not know what this is all about, here's a quick primer:

The state of Michigan is made up of 2 seperate peninsulas*
the Upper Peninsula, hence U.P., and that other one below the bridge.
(*A peninsula is a land mass surrounded by water on 3 sides)
Those of us in the U.P. have come to be known as "Yoopers."

Oh, as for Pat and I, here's a quick history:
Both of us were born and raised in Menominee, MI. We met
while I was working on my teaching degree at Northern Michigan University
in Marquette. After we were married, we moved to Sault Ste. Marie
where I was employed as an industial education instructor in the
Sault school system. We remained in the Sault and many years, 4 children,
and 6 grandchildren later, I am now retired and Pat works for Wal*Mart.
When not carving, or fishing, or working,or going to competitions,
we also enjoy camping.
