LEELANAU HISTORY

The owners of what could arguably be the most lavish home in northern Michigan are asking the state Tax Tribunal reduce their property tax assessment. The Celebration Life Trust is appealing the Leland Township Board of Review’s decision to deny a request to reduce the assessment on the property which, according to township records, has a true cash value of just over $24 million. *** Jim Munoz remembers the first time he saw the man who would become his best friend — Larry Glass. Glass was down on a dock at Fishtown, trying to catch a fish, Munoz said he was across the river from Glass and knew that a Big Ten coach had moved to Leland. “I walked over and introduced myself and that was the beginning of a 50-plus year friendship,” he said. Glass, 84, died Monday at Medilodge in Suttons Bay.
