The "Calcite Collection" 

                Calcite Photos from Rogers City’s “Baby Boomers” Era—1945-75. 

                “Baby Boomers”—and people who were in Rogers City when the Baby Boomers were growing up—will recognize many of the people who appear in this collection of photos.  Some are Boomers, others are the parents of Boomers, the grandparents of Boomers, or the neighbors of Boomers.  Unless you lived in a closet during the Baby Boomer years, you’re going to find people you know in these photos, and they’re sure to bring back pleasant memories of days gone by.

The safety patrol boys from the public school posed for the Calcite photographer
on September 25, 1951. 
Photos were also taken of the patrol boys from St. Ignatius and St. John, and all
three pictures are on display in our current exhibit.

In the front row of this photo are, left to right, Ted Pardike, Roger Fleming, and Cal Sortgett.
 In the second row are Skip Erke, Bob Ohlrich, Jerry Mendrick, Hugh Reutter, Jim Selke,
                an unidentified student, and Bob Kamyszek.

Standing in back are Jim Chrzan, Ray Plath, an unidentified patrol boy, Renny Bruning,
Guy Haneckow, Doug Wenzel, Arnie Chrzan, Ralph Pines and Jerry Wenzel.

               A few of the other people who appear in photos in the current exhibit include:  Biffer Joppich, Florian Modrzynski, Gloria Hassett, Gordie Elowsky, Tom Kuznicki, Norval Bade, Gerald Grambau, Del Conley, Ricky Patchkowski, Gary Sobeck, Eunice Bruning, Barbara LaPointe, and Barbara Borrusch.  There are hundreds of other people who appear in this exhibit.  You’ll know many of them, so don’t forget to stop by when we reopen on May 1.
