I have lived in 2 different parts of Michigan (the last in St. Joseph, on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan - loved it!)& have always wanted to experience the beauty of the Upper Peninsula.<br /><br />bonnieroof60@yahoo.com bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-74653245716828021692013-04-23T10:59:14.964-04:002013-04-23T10:59:14.964-04:00Wow, I had no clue it started way back in 1840s! ...Wow, I had no clue it started way back in 1840s!

I did a lot of research on the USCG when I wrote my book "Always Ready," but it's a contemporary, and I didn't go into the historical end of it, and I did not know about the Life-Saving Service.
