Marion Strahl Boyer Exhibit

The month of October features an exhibit of the photographs of a Soo resident, Marion Strahl Boyer. A story of her work recently ran in the Grand Rapids Press, U.P. Photo Pioneer.

Marion Boyer's work offers a look at the UP during Great Depression but it has much more than that. She was hired by Life Magazine as one of the magazine's first women photographers. She was assigned to Life's Hollywood bureau and then transferred to New York. This gave her an opportunity to photograph some of the biggest stars and political figures of the time.

Soo residents will remember Mrs. Boyer as a English teacher at Sault High but she had an exciting career before coming to the Soo.

There will be a Meet-the-artist Reception at the Alberta House on October 11.
