My son-in-law, Seth Demerly, Mayville class of 2013, joined the military 6 years ago after going through so many obstacles to get in. He has crushed it and proven to them what he’s made of. He started out being a combat medic to now following a dream of flying the aircrafts . He went from a Staff Sergeant to currently being a Warrant Officer. I just wanted to share how proud I am of this kid for the sacrifices he and my daughter make for our country . ~Melissa Dewitt Hayward - '88

You don't need to live in the Mayville area, or even the state! If you have access to a computer, ipad/tablet, cellphone or other device and have email, you can help. Your opinions and ideas are needed.
Kimberly Fox Fanelli (1988) and Pandora Wallace Biskner (1986) hatched an idea in 2023 to try and capture the Northern Lights from the ground and from the air at the same time in the same location. The ground location would capture the plane lights going through the Northern Lights.
On May 10, 2024, the best opportunity presented itself with the Northern Lights show being predicted to be one of the strongest showings of the Northern Lights since 2003.
When Pandora left to set up to capture the lights Kim was on the fence about going up in the air due to family obligations. At 10:03pm Kim messaged Pandora saying she changed her mind and was going up to fly. Pandora sent her a message back with the location she was at, and the wheels were in motion.
Kim has been a licensed general aviation pilot and aircraft owner since 2019. She is based at Oakland County International Airport, serves on multiple aviation boards promoting women in aviation, and volunteers her time and skills as an animal rescue pilot for the non-profit Pilots N Paws.
Pandora has been a professional photographer since 2015. She started her passion for Northern Lights Photography in 2021 capturing her first shots of the Northern Lights in 2022 and is the owner of Pandora Wallace Photography based out of Deford, Michigan. Check out the awesome video below.
