Kathleen Stocking.
My husband was connected to your dad. As we owned part of the Flowing Well Trout farm by Kalkaska.
He was a great man. We have the sign he had at the farm where sand dunes are now according to legend?) . The one that states: No one is nearer to God then in a garden.
It is cherished by us. Had it now for about 30 years.
I have it on our lake property at Burt Lake, Indian River, Mi.
Beautiful wood with words into sign.
I would love to show it to you if ever in Indian River area. Or, send you a picture. Wonder if you remember the sign?
We also, lived in Traverse City in decade of 1980’s. Building roads ourselves.
Blessings to you. What a beautiful testimony to your father. A great man.
Blessings to you, Dennis and JoAnn Forsberg.
