Whitmore Lake
In response to beantownbaby's question, the small lake in southern Michigan, is Whitmore Lake located about eleven miles north of Ann Arbor, my birthplace. My grandfather owned two cottages there. During World War II, we would spend the summer at the lake while my father was in the army. B-24 bombers were made at nearby Willow Run. I clearly remember being buzzed by a pilot swooping low overhead in this huge four-engined aircraft as we were out fishing. We could see him laughing as we cringed on the bottom of the boat. 😱
