A-tisket, a-tasket, a tiny treasure basket
Nora Metz and I had breakfast at Sonny’s on Sunday, where we admired the finished mural and discovered two new puzzles—but this post is not about that. We took a little Sunday drive through Banks Township, Nora pointing out where the Evans farm, the Maple Hill School, and Bobby Woolverton’s house used to be—but this […]
Presents! I love presents.
March 20, 2010
Life is full of delightful twists and turns. This little photo album arrived in my mailbox in a plump package of stories and genealogical research, all the way from Oklahoma. When I held it in my hands, I felt as if I were touching Civil War veteran Daniel Blakely’s coatsleeve. The album belonged to his […]

The Story Place
October 18, 2009
The wind piles dry leaves against a fencepost. Branches cracked away from old oaks and beeches litter the ground. Deer trails disappear into the woods. Wild turkeys come here for the beechnuts and acorns. Coyotes come for the wild turkeys. I’ve come for the stories. I spent a cold gray afternoon last week at Bayview Cemetery, listening. […]
Letter from Norton: GAR emerges from mist
September 9, 2009
Norton Bretz saw the Mystery flag post and began digging through his copious files of Eastport and Pearl family history. He writes: One of the photos from the Pearl collection is of the members of the Eastport GAR post taken, I think in front of the Grange Hall, now Dennis Inch’s house at the head […]
