Read this excerpt from an interview with John Peppler about his experience as a soldier in Vietnam, which appeared in the Glen Arbor Sun in May 2009:

Memorable moments during my tour were: the Tigers winning the World Series in ‘68, Martin Luther King’s assassination, the ‘68 Tet Offensive, seeing Bob Hope in ‘69 at Chu Lai, driving Highway 1, mini-guns, quad 50’s, the heat and humidity, mosquitoes, and boredom followed by extreme anxiety.

The Homestead Real Estate

Friday, January 1st, 2010

The Homestead is a resort community located on about 350 acres of land with a mile of frontage on Lake Michigan, two more miles on the Crystal River. It is a community comprised of neighborhoods — lakefront, river and lakefront, riverfront, lake view and forest view — separated by nature. Within those neighborhoods, you’ll find three types of property — building sites, detached single family homes and condominium homes. You will also find two forms of ownership: Whole and fractional; In “whole ownership” one owner owns all interests in the property; In “fractional ownership” owners own a one-quarter, one-eighth one-twelfth interest in a given property.
