Beaver Island Michigan

Hello All,

I have four students in US History & Geography this school year, and they will be collecting oral histories over homemade dinner. We will be especially interested in histories of people who have 60+ years under their belts -- the more years the merrier. Could you drop some names here? Whose history would you like to hear told?

Being a school year project, these need to be people who are here at some point between October and May.
I am looking forward to your recommendations!

Got it!

Richie O’Donnell, Bev O’Donnell Cantwell, Loretta LaFreniere Slater, Sandy LaFreniere Lodico, Joan LaFreniere, Alvin LaFreniere, Brian Gallagher, Ed Wojan, Mike Green, Jeanne Wojan Gillespie, Ron Wojan, John Gillespie, Richie Gillespie, Tim McDonough, Garrett Cole, Paul Cole, Brian Cole, on and on!

I find that group gatherings, especially of family members, less than five in number, they really get talking and remembering stories that play off each other. Can be a really fun project!

Thank you+

And yes - we had Loretta, Marie, and Bev in a couple of years ago and that was a fun way to do it!

Loie Connaghan has a lot of stories to tell as well

Thank you!
