I am told that Gary Morse's sister still runs the general store. Someone came to my Christmas brunch who knows them, and told me that the family was nice and are nice.

Mom and I go to Traverse City every year to see her sisters but we have never been to Brownwood. We will have to look it up this year.

Torch Lake, and all those northern MI lakes above, say, Frankfort, are as crystal clear blue as the Caribbean. In fact, frequently so is Traverse Bay that turquoise. It's beautiful up there. Go see!
