Raymond Goodwin

One of this year's Michigan Notable Books, Sawdusted builds upon the history of the lumber industry in Michigan. Old photos in a restaurant provide Goodwin with an an opportunity to reminisce on his experiences and relate them to Michigan's history. The people he knew could have been some of the same men memorialized on the burger-joint's walls. Whiskey Tim, Tattoo Man, Blue Old Man, and Big Tom are just a few of the interesting characters the reader meets. Goodwin is a great storyteller!
