LEELANAU HISTORY
It was Page One news in the Leelanau Enterprise on Jan. 18,1951 when one of the county’s native sons, Walter “Babe” Tobin, was declared missing in action in Korea. Later this month, his remains will be returned to Leelanau County for interment in a family cemetery in Empire Township. Very few people living today knew Walter Tobin personally. His official next-of-kin is a niece, Cynthia Wright of Empire, who was born more than seven years after her uncle was declared missing in Korea. But she has a stack of letters he wrote during the war and is living in the same Empire house he grew up in. *** The infant day care program is in jeopardy at Suttons Bay Public Schools (SBPS).

When Sam Getsinger was about 8 years old, her family would often visit the local theater on weekends to see its free film screenings. She generally remembers the trips fondly, but one movie stands out in her memory for provoking outrage: the story was set in an orphanage, and Getsinger remembers feeling “incensed” over the plight of the children living in it. 11/06/2024 09:18 PM
