Our sis-in-law picking flowers right in front of where my old boyhood home (C&H company house) stood in 1948! The house was right on the corner just about where the utility pole is behind her.

I have been using Pasty Cam pics on my e-mails for years and today came across your name, went into your site and seeing this picture realized you were my
childhood friend from Pewabic. Your photography is GREAT! Nice of you to share it with Pasty Net.

Helen A---?? Is that really you? WOW! I thought I heard years ago you lived in Marine City not far from here? Your husband is a teacher? I think he taught our kids!? Please Email me!

LOL..it be me. Cannot e-mail you as I don't have your addy. Where have all the years gone? Yes, Don taught your kids, saw the name Emmons in yearbooks, but never connected it with you until I saw Jennifer in Dave's yearbook and she looked as you did when you were young, so had Dave ask Jen if you were her dad and she said, "yes". Unreal. We are now living in Hancock and have been since '93. Seems strange to be back and still trying to get used to it. Back with old friends, but different experiences have happened to all of us so it ain't the same. The beauty is unsurpassed, as always. I have a friend who lives in Pewabic in one of the few remaining houses there, so spend a lot of time there. Unique area and more so since now it's part of a National Park. Whoda thunk this would happen...Pewabic
has a "special" place in my heart...spent time raising funds to restore the inside of the Mary Stratton house in Hancock, founder of the Pewabic Tile Company in Detroit. Her tiles and special glaze are world renowned, and she named this factory after visiting Pewabic...has something to do with the special "clay", also. Most Grosse Pointe homes have her tiles in them. AND, through this modern invention, I am once again connected to an "old" friend.
Hoping you and yours are A-ok. Helen aka Finn
