Beaver Island Michigan

An excellent choice was made this weekend for Citizen of the Year. Pete, thanks for your diligence and drive in making the assisted living facility a reality. I was thinking about your father in law Saturday night. Your efforts are, in part, because of him and now so many others will benefit from yo...

Welcome home LCpl Grant West.

This Sunday morning has me remembering another Sunday morning from years ago. Joy and Russ were down here, probably visiting Beth Ann and I spotted the 2 of them at Mass at St. Mike's in Remus. I caught up to them in the vestibule and as I was giving Joy a hug Russell said in his strong voice, "...

To the Russell & Joy Green family,
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers on this sad day.
Rick & Judy Hansul & family

When I told my husband that Russell was taking his kids out on the Beaver Islander yesterday he said, "I hope he took her out as the Captain. The boat company wouldn't be what it is today without him."

Marie told me a few years ago that Allie painted everyday. I hope he was able to do just that and right to the end..

Conservation and preservation on Beaver island helps everyone. I remember when the "Hunters Ball" was a pretty big deal and it was held in a very FULL parish hall. That being said, I feel that some of the later posts on this forum are out of line. There is no "hidden agenda" on t...

I remember my dad talking about Mr. Bundy who introduced the Whitetail to the island back in the 30's. I doubt Mr. Bundy had a "family connection" to the island. He did it because he saw an opportunity and island families benefited from his vision. The islands' economy began to grow. I wan...

Sad news indeed. And I agree with Richie, Larry was a colorful character. Godspeed.

Well done Erin! Your parents must be so proud.

I remember Chuckie sharing the "Everybody needs a little traveling money" story at my mom & dad's house (Archie & Frances) after Jewell's funeral. I got the impression that he would've hitch-hiked from Kansas if he had to in order for him repay that kind deed.
God love ya Chuckie.

I was at Wheatland this weekend and they really electrified the crowd. You are in for a good time, guaranteed!!!

Dear cousins,
Wanted you to know that you are so loved. Am looking forward to seeing you both in August. Maybe you won't have to play Stanley Floyd this time and someone else can pick me up at the airport!
Hang in there.
Judy
p.s. Marie, you're birthday card is almost in the mail....

If only he could have had length of days-that is what all of us would have wished for this special friend.
Sincerely,
Judy Hansul and family

I am very sorry to hear of Loy's death. We always stayed in touch at Christmas. My Dad used to call her his "right arm" when she worked for him all those years at the Shamrock. Beaver Island has certainly lost another of its' colorful characters. Thanks for the wonderful memories Loyola an...
