Significant People of the Northwoods



It seems to us that people are like trees in that they all are beautiful and generally like to hang out together.

But good, significant people are like the giant pines shown in this picture:
they don't boast, yet their motivations and actions allow them to rise above the crowd and their beauty is visible to all.
They make a distinguishable mark on the landscape--and it is always meant for the betterment of all.

This section of the site is dedicated to them.

 

If you would like to recommend someone for this section, we will consider posting their story.
Please
email us their story and the reason why you feel they should be in here.
