2022 Bridging History Celebration honoring Prentiss M. Brown.
Born in December of 1925, Moie made his life in St. Ignace just as his father and grandfather did. Son of the U.S. Senator Prentiss M. Brown, who is credited with securing the funding for the Mackinac Bridge, you could easily make the case that the impact of the Brown family bridges history. Moie and his wife of 63 years, Peggy, raised for children in Northern Michigan. He is a Navy Veteran and an Albion College graduate. A thrid-generation attorney, he served as the St. Ignace City Attorney for more than 40 years. It is Moie’s love of storytelling and the history behind those stories that got him involved at the Michilimackinac Historical Society. He has stepped up to help at MHS countless times and is an Honorary Co-Chair of the Straits Cultural Center campaign. Moie has spend his life inspiring others with his philanthropy, his community involvement, and his dedication to preserving history so that others may learn.
