Well, this is a very interesting guy. After reading Ron's note I did 
a little searching and found that he owns or owned a lighthouse in 
the U.P. of Michigan near where I lived. The light house is located 
at Bete Gris and is known as the Mendota lighthouse. I found some 
archived web pages in the Internet.org site so it makes me think he 
no longer owns the place. I remember that they (his wife Connie) 
opened a nice little restaurant up there too. You really have to want 
to go there. Bete Gris is located in the Keweenaw Peninsula a few 
miles from the tip. Beyond is the vast expanse of Lake Superior. He 
dumped a bunch of money into that place too. I think everyone should 
own a lighthouse. Next, I'm going to write some of my U.P. friends 
and see if they remember anything about him. Pipl.com returns info 
about Gary too.
