LEELANAU HISTORY

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). At its regular meeting Monday, the SBPS Board of Education listed on its agenda an action item of eliminating the program as of Jan. 6, which superintendent Mike Carmean said was due to financial reasons. The board tabled the matter after a slew of disapproving public comments from school-district parents and community members in attendance 11/06/2024 09:18 PM
