I was born in Charlevoix! November 1958. The very day the two sole survivors of the Carl D. Bradley were rescued. The same doctor who examined them brought me screaming into the world a few hours later.

My family goes back four generations in Charlevoix. Great-great grandpa owned a small farm south of town. Great grandpa ran the boatyard on Round Lake. He provided the first steam tug service from there to Chicago. Grandpa served at the Coast Guard rescue station and my dad was a linotype operator for news papers all over the region.

We moved to Traverse City in 1960 where dad ran a printing business and mom was a RN at Munson Hospital.

It saddens me to know my hometown is being overrun by these rancid turds like Moore and the rest of them. They waddle into the region with all their wealth and self-importance. Buy up boatloads of property and feel they're entitled to take over. They don't give two sh!ts for those of us with deep roots in the region. They think it all belongs to them now.

Can you private mail me more details? I’m curious to know more. I lived there for over thirty five years. We can talk.
