Dear Rick Mixter,

On behalf of the Ecorse Historical Society, Ecorse Public Library and Ecorse Parks & Recreation we thank you for bringing your extraordinary storytelling to our community. Your presentation on the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald and Great Lakes shipwrecks was not only riveting—it was a masterclass in historical preservation and maritime wonder. The way you wove together rare eyewitness accounts, underwater footage, and deep research truly transported us into the heart of our region’s legacy.

Your passion and dedication to uncovering these stories resonated deeply with our audience who left inspired and curious. You reminded us that history isn’t just something we study—it’s something we feel, remember, and pass on.

We’re grateful for the time, energy, and expertise you shared with us. It was a privilege to host you, and we hope this is just the beginning of future collaborations that continue to make history come alive in Ecorse.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Ecorse Historical Society
