Larry B. Massie for more than two decades has shared his passion for his beloved state's heritage. He has authored 18 popular Michigan history books (the latest one was released in November of 2006) and lectures to audiences across both peninsulas. His acclaimed storytelling about strange but true episodes conveys listeners on a fun filled, magic carpet ride into Michigan's past. He brings to life Chippewa princesses, steel-sinewed voyageurs, rough-hewn lumberjacks, salty Great Lakes sailors and other men and women who helped make Michigan a great state. Larry adapts his fast-paced, 45 minute to one hour performances to all age groups and types of audiences. He and his wife Priscilla often times work as a team, as she also gives lectures on Michigan's culinary heritage. Together they authored the award winning cookbook “Walnut Pickles & Watermelon Cake: A Century of Michigan Cookery”. Priscilla is also the host of the “Made in Michigan” cooking show seen on the ABC Network affiliate, WZZM.
