"Marvin has a condition which causes him to ENJOY reading forest plans. There’s a medication for that, but we made sure that his insurance doesn’t cover it."
- Marv RobersonThank you, Anne, for loving and protecting Michigan, as much as we love and hope to protect Michigan.
- Mark Muhich"DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID!" - She said this so often she finally procured a sign for her office door stating this.
- Cecilia GarciaBack in the days when Dominic Jacobetti represented the UP in the legislature, Anne was doing a FOIA request to the DNR and ran across a letter from Jacobetti to the DNR demanding some outrageous action (can't remember what). She forwarded a copy to a reporter for the Marquette Mining Journal, who called Jacobetti's office to ask about it. The aid on the phone sputtered, "What's this world coming to when some broad from the Sierra Club can read our 'private' mail!" Some broad, all right.
- Nancy shiffler
"Onward!"
- Tiffany HartungThank you, Anne, for loving and protecting Michigan, as much as we love and hope to protect Michigan.
- Mike Muhich"Celebrate your small victories, because they are rare and precious. And they keep you from going insane with frustration."
- Craig Brainard
"F*** F*** S***"
Anne has one of the greatest laughs and we are fortunate to hear it often in the office. We also hear "FFS" (not abbreviated) quite often.
- Cecilia Garcia
In response to my inquiry about how she began working with Sierra Club: "Well, my boys were old enough that I found myself with some free time. Tom suggested I volunteer with Sierra Club. I asked him "What am I going to learn from or have in common with a bunch of old hippies?" It turns out A LOT! He's a bright man, that Tom."
- Cecilia Garcia"Sue the bastards!"
- Anonymous
"It's always something, sigh."
- Tiffany Hartung
"Argh!"
Anne says "Argh!"
No one in real life says "Argh!"
Pirates say "Argh!"
Charlie Brown says "Argh!"
Anne says "Argh!"
- Marv RobersonIn referring to the wolves in the picture in her office Anne said, "What if they could vote too?"
- Mike Haley"It is better to take care of yourself and be able to do this work for the long-term than to burn yourself out."
- Mike Berkowitz"Give em Hell!"
- Mike BerkowitzI loved watching during retreat mornings as you brush out your hair before you braid it for the day.
- Ellen Waara- David Holtz
On removing a troublesome facebook commenter:
