    Northwestern Michigan College The Second IVvenfy Years 1971 -1991 Al Shumsky Assisted by Carole Marlatt NORTHWESTERN MICHIGAN COLLEGE The Second Twenty Years 1971-1991 A1 Shumsky Assisted by Carole Marlatt February 1994 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks are due many people who helped with this project. First to the two people without whom it could not have been done: Tim Quinn and Carole Marlatt. Tim initiated the project and supported it with released time, and with no directions whatsoever beyond "Have a good time!" Carole not only prepared the manuscript, assembled the rosters in the appendix, chose the pictures, and both provided her own and edited my memories; she also is the one who recorded the Board minutes for these twenty years and then indexed them and preserved the hard copy so it was available to this amateur historian. (She, in fact, is the one to go to if you want to know what really went on during these years.) Thanks are also due these many others who graciously provided information or corroborated memories: Bob Buttleman, Doug Campbell, Becky Chartier, Jan Gasnik, Kathleen Guy, Chet Janik, Bill King, George Kuhn, Keith MacPhee, Nancy McArthur, Shelley Merrill, Dick Minor, Shirley Okerstrom, Barbara Raehl, Joe Rogers, PatSalathiel, Bill Shaw, Don Shikoski, Chuck Shreve, Robbie Teahen, Bob Warner, and Steve Westphal. Recognition is also due the hundreds of people—Board members, faculty and staff—whose names do not appear in this account, but who in fact constituted the College. Without them, there would be no history to write. I apologize to all whose contributions have not been specifically mentioned.

Gargaro, Jr. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Detroit Institute of Arts Comments by the Artist Nelson Shanks Remarks Governor John Engler # # # # # Portrait Unveiling Margaret, Hannah and Madeleine Engler # # # # # Reception The Governor John Mathias Engler was Michigan’s 46th governor. His tenure, from 1991 till 2003, was exceeded by only one chief executive in state history. During his twelve years in office, Michigan’s economy improved dramatically and its public schools experienced far-reaching reform. John Engler was born in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, on October 12, 1948, the son of Agnes and Matt, a Beal City farmer and cattleman. After attending Catholic and public schools, he went to Michigan State University, where he graduated with a degree in agricultural economics. It was in 1970, during his senior year in college, that he first ran for a seat in the state House of Representatives. By dint of smart campaigning and hard work, he beat a powerful incumbent to become the then-youngest member ever elected to the Michigan legislature; he was 22 years old. In 1978, after being elected to the House four times, John Engler challenged and defeated another incumbent in the state Senate, where he served for 12 years and was majority leader from 1984-1990. Attending law school while serving in the Senate, he earned a J.D.
