Contributor Bio(s): Rogers, D. Laurence: - After stints in Chicago and Detroit, D. Laurence Rogers became a reporter for the Bay City Times in the 1960s. Over the years, he has covered ship sinkings, gas well fires, Alpena quarrying, old Purple Gang hangouts, then-abandoned iconic Mackinac Island structures and more. Writing the folk history of Paul Bunyan took him to places like the Pack House Inn, the Holland Hotel in East Tawas and Shoppenagon's Hotel and Spikes Keg 'O Nails in Grayling. More than half a century in journalism has given him a perspective on North Michigan that is reflected in his stories and books. |
