Hi Clem what is a Yooper??
Sorry. The state of Michigan has two parts, the lower penninsula - shaped like a hand and the Upper Penninsula - shaped like a shark. The Upper Penninsula is also known as the U.P. and the people who live there Yoopers - kind of like hillbillies from the frozen North. I suppose it is hard to appreciate the humor unless you are from or have spent time in the Great Lakes region of the U.S.
Hey Clem, I miss Fred Trost!

derf
Some day I'd like to see his museum.
