Visit from the President

President Obama came to Marquette Thursday for a 3 hour visit. His purpose was to highlight Northern Michigan University's use of the internet wireless system. He did a lot for the area's ego. The TV station has a slogan of "The Upper Peninsula- Someplace Special." This must prove it.

Susan's mom was in the downtown restaurant area when Obama stopped for lunch. That was the only family connection with the visit.

See the Marquette Mining Journal for more details if you are interested or need confirmation that Obama really came here.
