Moran Michigan

If you are one of the two people in the whole universe who may have pictures of downtown Moran over the years, I would love to have copies.

Evidence of early gang activity in Moran, circa 1930. Bottom left is my mother, Annie Schlehuber. The Lawrence Soeltner home is in the background.

I'll bet you never saw 22 guys who would walk outside in the snow to have their picture taken with pool cues before!
