Film Suggested About Fur Trader
To the Editor:

Is there a more magical place in Michigan at Christmas than Mackinac Island? I don't think so. I have a Christmas wish. It is for a production company to make a full-blown feature film about fur trader Magdaleine LaFromboise, a remarkable woman, before much more time goes by.

In the December 13 issue of The St. Ignace News, on page 21, where Island news was written, I could not help but think of Madame LaFromboise, when the Ste. Anne's Church at Christmas was described so eloquently for Christmas Eve by Jeannette Doud: "The bells will announce the holy night as the sparkling white lights, garland, and wreaths with red velvet bows greet the parishioners. The altars will be adorned with gold lace dating back more than 100 years, red poinsettias, and lighted white tapers." All this, and with beautiful Christmas music. Pretty magical, indeed, and timeless.

Where is the production company? Happy New Year, special people of the Straits!
