Whitefish

The whitefish in the Sault area is unparalled. If you have tried whitefish down state, it doesn't compare-even if the restaurant advertised it as 'fresh'. The whitefish is really fresh here.

We usually get our first whitefish meal of the year at Lockview in the Sault. But this year we stopped in Mackinaw City at Darrow's and I had a whitefish sandwich that was delicious.

What is your favorite spot for whitefish in the Eastern Upper Peninsula? Send me you favorites at saultboatwatcher@gmail.com.

Thanks

Famous People from Sault Ste. Marie


I came across a startling story last night. The news source was talking about possible candidates for nomination to the United States Supreme Court. Jennifer Granholm was the first mentioned (it was from a Michigan newspaper) but also listed was Kathleen Sullivan. It stated Ms. Sullivan was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

Kathleen Sullivan is currently professor of law and former dean at Stanford Law School.

She was born in Sault Ste. Marie in 1955. I have not been able to track down any further information on her early years.

Do any of you have any memory of Ms. Sullivan or her family living in SSM?

I'll keep you updated on what I hear. I emailed Ms. Sullivan last night and asked a few questions. She is probably a little busy right now.
