A ter eav ng A ron, we ea e nort to Pont ac, M c gan.Ted was born there and Janice was baptized there. We livedon Williams Lake and attended Pontiac Lake Elementary.
The elementary school was torn down to build an airport butthe small lane we lived on is still there although the houses
have been rebuild. We used to take our little red dingy outon the lake to fish and explore. There was a little island outin the lake to the right of our house. We use to catch turtles.In the winter we ice skated on the lake and went ice fishing.
The lot next to our house was empty except for an old barn.We loved that house and our years there. The white housewith the black roof is on the lot where we lived. The newhouse to the right is on our side yard. To the right of thatwas the empty lot with the barn.
