Judith we don't claim the all! LOL! I love Tawas. This will sound weird but my family has instructions that when I pass on I am to be cremated and my ashes dumped off the end of the old dock. I said that if they do it off the new dock I will come back!
charlene, my husband was in Tawas once, he said he was at sage lake with a group once but went to Tawas the second day. I was not there he had his sons with him betty from homer, MI.
HE WAS ONLY HERE ONCE?? WASNT HE IMPRESSED.. LOL.. ITS REALLY A PRETTY AREA.. LOTS TO SEE....A WAYS FROM HOMER THOUGH.. SAGE LAKE IS NICE TOO ITS BETWEEN HERE AND WESTBRANCH
THERE IS A MCLAUGHLIN HERE TOO HE IS A RETIRED GENERAL HE WAS THE TOP OFFICER WHEN THE AIR BASE WAS HERE IN THE OSCODA AREA.
charlene, My husband was with a church group and he said it was either one or two of the boys, at that time they were 9 and 12 and they went fishing. It was from 86-89 ?? and I asked him about it now but he really doesn't remember too much about it. He did tell me he had a good time when he went , but can't really say now after all these years what it was like. He used to fish here in Homer and now he golfs. He had a real good friend who used to golf with him and also was our mechanic and he died a year ago feb. 2009, He had golfed with him for 5yrs and was younger than my husband .
No relation to the McLaughlin who is a retired general, but my husband did serve his country in the Air force. betty
