The place to be on Saturday June 28 was over at the new township hall – ahem, the Community Services Building – for the dedication, ribbon cutting and open house. For once we had some pretty weather, and it was an entirely festive afternoon.
You can read all about it in all the weeklies hereabouts. I wrote the story in the Elk Rapids News. The Antrim County News and Antrim Review covered it, too. However . . . none of them will give you as many pictures as you will find right here on Torch Lake Views. That is because I have a secret weapon named Donna Lane. Between us we took lots of pictures. Pages of ’em. Click on any one that catches your fancy and you’ll see a larger version.
You can also read a Torch Lake Views exclusive: Betty Beeby’s Letter to the Future, which will be sealed in the time capsule that will, in turn, be sealed into the cornerstone of the new facility, giving us yet another reason for a party. Betty read the Letter to me earlier this year when we were sharing a cocktail and commiserating about the depth and breadth of the winter. I liked it a lot, and I’ve been bugging her ever since to let me publish it. She finally gave in. (In case you forgot already, you can read more in the March Time Capsule Contents post on TLV.)

Hi,
I am trying to reach a James Mottern who would have worked at Buick years ago in Flint and lived in Western Hills subdivision. He would have worked with my neighbor, Bill Wiltz, possibly even my Uncle Mervin Bevington. I am trying to find out if he ever owned a sports car that my childhood friend, Doug Sahrbeck and I held in very high esteem …..I still have a picture of it.
I can be reached at […]. If anyone could get word to him, I would really appreciate it.

Hello Alan – I’ve let the Motterns know about your comment–deleted the contact info here, but passed it on to them. Dunno if my Motterns are your Motterns!
