A Post From Sue, "Visiting Mrs. Michels"

When Mrs. Michels was living alone at the family cabin in Michigamme, I asked Donna if it would be OK for Paul and myself to pay a visit to her mother..maybe there were some errands we could run for her.  Donna said her mom would probably enjoy some company. When we arrived at the camp, she had just finished her lunch. She had baked an eggplant and cheese and tomato casserole, just for an ordinary weekday lunch for herself. I was impressed.

She mentioned that Donna and Mike had shown her some Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance videos,  and said she had just watched a guy on TV, and was trying to remember his name. It seems she fascinated by his performance, his song and dance routines, and his costumes. I asked, 'Was he Black?' And she paused for just an instant, and said, 'Well, he USED to be.'    Yup.  Michael Jackson.
