The 1962 Green Bay Packers are still considered one of the most successful teams in the history of the National Football League. the book examines how the team was built, exploring how four of the five assistants on Lombardi's coaching staff went on to become head coaches. The team was rich with personalities, from the glamour conscious Hourning to the emotional Nitschke to the determined Starr. Of course, the strongest personality was Lombardi who shaped these many unique individuals and talents into a team that changed the game forever. The Packers of this era won five championships in seven years, including the first tow Super Bowls creating a dynasty in the smallest market in professional sports.
Both books are available at LaDeDa.

A 1,000 Mile Walk on the Beach
Meet the author
Saturday, July 16, 11:00
Discussion and signing
Loreen Niewenhuis, who chronicled her trek around Lake Michigan in her book, “A 1,000 Mile Walk on the Beach” will discuss her journey and sign books on Saturday, July 16, 11:00 at LaDeDa Books and Beans, 1624 New York Avenue in Manitowoc.
The book explores both the geology of the lake and the measure of a person – a woman, married, and mother of two sons who joined her on part of the walk. However, most of the walk was done solo – an adventure in discovery of self and place.
The book explores both the geology of the lake and the measure of a person – a woman, married, and mother of two sons who joined her on part of the walk. However, most of the walk was done solo – an adventure in discovery of self and place.
Niewenhuis conveys a sense of the magnitude of the lake she loves, a place so elemental to the states which form its shores.
Day by day, from a ground-level perspective, the book explores the natural and human history of Lake Michigan, and raises important questions about preserving our wild places and protecting fragile ecosystems. .
Loreen Niewenhuis grew up in Michigan and has lived there most of her life. She pursued a life of science, getting a Bachelor, then an MS degree. She worked in various aspects of that world including a hospital laboratory, basic animal research, and a bone marrow transplant group.
While taking a break from this work to raise her young sons, Loreen began writing fiction. This evolved into a passion and she returned to school to get her MFA from Spalding University.
In 2009, her short story collection, Scar Tissue, was a finalist for the Flannery O’Connor Award.
.
Loreen is currently working on a novel, Tumor Board, set in the medical world.

In 2009, Loreen walked completely around Lake Michigan. this book chronicles that journey, a 1,000 mile walk around the world's fifth largest lake.
The book explores both the geology of the lake and the measure of person - a woman, married, mother of two sons. Even though her sons joined her on parts of the journey, most was done solo, an adventure in discovery of self and place.
Loreen and her brother, Phil, spent time here as they passed through Manitowoc. We shared a relaxing dinner with them, along with several employees and friends. In addition to this book, Loreen is close to publishing a medical based novel, "Tumor Board". She generously shared an early draft with me, and I found it impossible to put down...reading most of it on my way to Cedarburg one Sunday. (Nope, I wasn't driving!)
Phil, an accomplished musician and composer, may accompany Loreen on this visit as well.
Please come. I know you will be fascinated by this amazing story.
