Eastport, Bellaire, Alden, Antrim (all small towns around the beautiful Torch Lake), Grand Traverse, Brownwood, and many more. Google "Brownwood Acres History" Torch Lake, Michigan for any interesting read. Probably a You Tube video or two on Brownwood acres. Their dinner theater was the place to be during the summer months. Lots of fond memories. And if you think TV is beautiful...and it is...nothing compares to the beauty of their original home on or near Torch Lake. You Tube that one.
I have a curious question and perhaps you might know the answer.

I was touring thru the history display about Harold Schwartz/Morse family and TV at the Rohan Rec Center a few months back and was trying to figure-out why Harold's children legally took the last name of their stepfather (Morse) instead of keeping their own.

Do you, or anyone here, know why?
