Read the wonderful article by Jon Osborn in the latest Michigan BLUE, “Sitting on the End of a Dock” (Special Bonus COTTAGES Edition 2014). Would it be possible for us to get a copy, that we might share it with visitors to our cottage? My wife, Patty, sits at the end of our dock nearly every morning with her coffee enjoying the quiet and peaceful serenity of the Straits of Mackinac. Thank you!
