3/12/2024 Au Sable History with Carol Miller

[Voice of Carol Miller] I was telling her we had parties on the weekend, we’d have venison steaks, right out there!

We would have it, oh yeah, we had the grill and Dave had his guitar and he would play and we’d all sing and have a good time.

We loved it out here. Yeah, was nice. Yeah.

[Ranger] So your husband was in charge?

[Carol] Yeah.

[Ranger] You know what kinds of things he did while he was out here?

[Carol] Oh, yeah, we would- I would go with him.

[Ranger] You would help him?

[Carol] Yeah, we would. We’d run up the light, up the stairs, and he’d try and catch me because I would go faster than him.

He had to- We had to polish the lens on the light. Couldn't be a mark on it, or no fingerprints or anything - perfect.

We’d put the shades up and put the shades down. And then, of course, the fog signal. He made the guys keep that clean, wash it out. Scrub the floors, and stuff like that.

[Ranger] How was it living out here with the fog signal?

[Carol] It would blow, loud! And at first, I - I thought, oh my goodness, I won't be able to sleep. But, you get used to it.
