- Description:
- Portrait of legendary blues musician, B.B. King performing at the 1980 Montreux Detroit Jazz Festival. "Riley “B.B.” King has been called the “King of the Blues” and “Ambassador of the Blues,” and indeed he’s reigned across the decades as the genre’s most recognizable and influential artist, his half-century of success owes much to his hard work as a touring musician who consistently logged between 200 and 300 shows a year, through it all he’s remained faithful to the blues while keeping abreast of contemporary trends and deftly incorporating other favored forms - jazz and pop, for instance - into his musical overview ... as a guitarist, King is best-known for his single-note solos, played on a hollowbody Gibson guitar, King’s unique tone is velvety and regal, with a discernible sting, he’s known for his trilling vibrato, wicked string bends, and a judicious approach that makes every note count," from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum's website.

The plane was designed and built as a project of Henry Ford and his chief test pilot, Harry Brooks ... As soon as this first plane was operational in July, 1926, Harry Brooks used it as a personal plane to commute daily from his home north of Detroit to the Ford Airport in Dearborn ...

- Description:
- This collection contains photographs removed from three photo albums as well as several loose items. The majority of these photographs have not been dated or identified. The albums were disassembled due to poor condition. The donor was Marilyn Culpepper but it is not clear whether these materials were her own, or those of her mother, Florence Tressler. The first album contained cabinet cards, cartes de visite, and tintypes. Some were marked with Lansing photography studio names, others elsewhere in Michigan, and the remainder out of state or not marked. Most are not identified. The second album included several photo postcards that were addressed to Florence Tressler, mostly in Montpelier, Ohio. Other photographs show portraits, farm scenes, especially pickling cucumbers, some images and postcards from Brazil, Kalamazoo, and Ohio. The third album contained many unidentified portraits of young women, possibly Florence Tressler and her classmates at a women's college. There were more photos of cucumber and other farming scenes, and photos of school children who may have been Florence Tressler's students when she became a teacher. It is possible based on notes from the donor tucked in the album that she graduated in about 1909 from the Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio, which is now part of the Miami University. Loose items include portraits identified "Pictures of my father and my uncle, Holt, Michigan, about 1898" on a note by the donor. There are early 20th century photographs of hunting and falcons, the Lansing High School football team, and houses under construction or just completed on Christiancy and East Main Streets and at 301 and 509 Moores River Drive. Florence Tressler was married to Samuel Glenn Mayer, and their daughter Marilyn Marie Mayer eventually became Marilyn Culpepper. Some photographs in this collection have the name "Mayer" written on the back. This collection has not been digitized. Contact the Local History department for more information.
