Musich donation recognized

Known by many as “Doctor Jim,” the late Jim Musich never forgot his Ely roots.

His contributions to his hometown continued even after his passing, and included a better than $225,000 donation to the city of Ely to help renovate city parks.

The significant gift will now be formally recognized by the city of Ely, with council members taking action Tuesday, authorizing a plaque to be placed in his honor at Whiteside Park.
