I'm researching the recent history of the Grand Rapids area, and would love to talk with some long-time residence of the area - especially anyone who grew up in the region, or lived there through the 1950s, 60s, or 70s. I will appreciate anything that anyone knows about this region & local history from 1900 to the present, but a few of my special interests would include:

Pokegama Lake (especially 1950s thru 1970s) & the Tioga mine area.

Any personal memories (or, more likely, memories of parents, grandparents, etc. who might have told stories about) the Gumm family (Judy Garland's family).

Similarly, any stories about the Zimmerman family (Bob Dylan). (Yeah, I know that's Hibbing, but close enough to be of interest for my purposes.)
