I have long admired and studied the life and accomplishments of Rear Admiral Merry-Time Edward “Iceberg” Smith. Over the years I have attempted to ingrain and emulate the Festival of Trees many leadership and management insights that Admiral Smith left behind for those astute enough to discover them in his historic shadow. The authors of the aforementioned Nov. 15 - Dec. 9 leadership and management guides were blessed with a wealth of biographical information on the historic figures chosen to emulate. Unfortunately, no comprehensive biography See back exists for Rear Admiral Smith. For a “history geek”, this is an irresistible challenge. cover for By assembling bits and pieces from a variety of historical sources I have been able to more piece together his fascinating story and learn much about leadership and management by details studying the life of this remarkable military officer. With the shabby collection of prose that follows, I hope to share with you a glimpse at some of those lessons and how they continued on page 12 Page 2 | Mari-Times Vol. 22-3 | Fall 2014 BOARD OF DIRECTORS It has been a hoot!

  • QUESTIONS & ANSWERS with JODY HEDLUND Media Contacts
    A DIVISION OF BAKER PUBLISHING GROUP QUESTIONS & ANSWERS WITH JODY HEDLUND 1. Why did you write this novel? I wanted to write a series about lighthouses for a number of reasons. First, my state of Michigan is home to the greatest concentration of lighthouses in the U.S. And today more than 120 remain, compared to 500 total for the rest of the nation. Follow this layout for applications where the designated logo area is expremely narrow. Including these proportions Second, I was drawn to lighthouses because I’m fascinated by the women keepers,and weights. who have largely been forgotten by our modern world. During the prime lighthouse era, 1800s to early 1900s, most lightkeepers were men. But occasionally women were appointed to the head keeper or assistant keeper position. Michigan has the distinction of having had the most women lightkeepers. During my research, I was thrilled to find a resource that centered on those women keepers—a book by Patricia Majher titled Ladies of the Lights: Michigan Women in the U.S. Lighthouse Service. I loved reading about the approximately fifty women who served as either principal or assistant keeper in Michigan lighthouses. They inspired me to bring their stories to life. 2. Did Love Unexpected involve any special research? Since I live in the middle of Michigan, I’m within only a few hours’ drive from many of the state’s lighthouses. So of course I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do hands-on research. Accompanied by my two teen daughters and my mom, we drove up the coast of Lake Huron.
