Straight away let me say for who may care, this photo was taken by a dear friend of mine who is no longer with us. I am positive he would not mind if I used it. So hopefully I will not have to spend more time in the Caedes jail. :) Right then. So this photo shows the old St. Jermaine house in Baraga Michigan where much of my formative years were spent and where most of my family and mother till the age of 12 lived. I stayed at my Uncle's house next door to this photo. I never went in the house, my mother lived there for a bit, I was scared thinking it was haunted. The person who took this photo was the local historian and said this building was built about 1870 and was a stagecoach stop back in the day. Around 1998 the building was demolished and there's a automotive garage there from what I hear. I remember as a kid the hundreds of bats that would stream out of the attic in the summer around dusk. If I could create heaven, it would be those days with the old kinfolk forever.
