I tried to write Dale but think I was too late, heard he had passed away but not sure of it, he was from Port Huron or around there. Will get back with you as soon as i can. Start work tomorrow. When I was at the Lansing library afew years ago I found about 5 books on the Bearse/Bearss and etc. Am going back there soon and look again.
