Description
This work in progress will be a memory of me and my Grandfather fishing on a dock at the southern point of Hickory Island, outside of Detroit Michigan.
To our right is Michigan and the USA. To our left is Canada. In front of us is the northern opening to Lake Erie. To our left was the Livingston Channel, a deep-water channel where the grand lake freighters would pass between the Great Lakes.
We would get up early at our cottage and dig for worms in the woods (see above ?). Sitting on the dock was one of the most beautiful views in the world! As the enormous lake freighters came by, Grandpa would tell me its name, where it came from, where its going and what is was carrying. Gee’s he surely was the smartest man on earth!
As I got older and started to read, I found that the Detroit News would print this information, in color, every Sunday on the back page of the comics. Seems Grandpa would clip this information and save it in his pocket!
I still think he was the greatest man I ever met!
