What a delightful read! So glad a high school friend found that book while cleaning out closets,and she happened to tell me! I couldn't put that book down! Since I grew up in LaGrange, I had to read it! Dr. Benne,You are a great story teller. Lots of information new to me! I was busy with my social life back in those days! I must say my favorite chapter was the Beaver Island.My dad was in that group of fishermen. I recommended your book to friends and relatives also. I'm sure they will like it as much as I did
