 Lived at 349 Marauder from '73-'77. Thanks for the memories of Leo P. McDonald and Gwinn Middle School. The base ski hill looks the same as it did every summer! It looks like it might be depressing to drive through there now, but I think I'll give it a shot this year.

 Just had to post back to Anita from Ishpeming. I read your comments about what is left of K.I. and
also know firsthand from visiting that it isn't what is use to be. That still doesn't take away the memories of what once was. All of us die-hard K.I. fans enjoy each others stories, and know that we can't go back to what it was but, cherish what we remember. I personally was a seventeen year old new bride when I joined my husband at K.I., that was 42 years ago and still get good feelings when I think about those days. In this day and age it's nice to have those good memeories to pass on to our children and grandchildren who will probably never have the great experiences we did back then.

 While it's nice to share old pictures and fond memories, anyone expecting to return and find the former base as it used to be should be prepared for disappointment. The housing area has been transformed into low income housing which includes the associated problems of poor upkeep, increased crime, etc. The "new" multi-million dollar fitness center that was built just before the base was closed is now a neglected YMCA with huge cracks clearly visible within the exterior facade. Numerous companies and corporations have explored setting up shop on the old base during the last few years only to decide against it after visiting it in person. My negative opinion, along with those expressed by several others in this guestbook, are based upon what we've witnessed with our own eyes when visiting what used to be KI Sawyer.
