I never knew any of that about my state of Michigan. My relatives lived in Port Austin, East Tawas, Oscoda, Saginaw and elsewhere mostly in the Thumb Area and only a few farther north. My gt.,gt. grandfather after whom I was named (first and middle names) is buried in Port Austin. He enlisted and fought under General Sherman in the Civil War.

I was listening to Don at the time he explained this! I always liked him. No respect for the guy he paired with. Forget his name
