In 1974, while stationed at the USCG Air Station in Traverse City my dad visited me and we went for a drive up to Northport. It was familier ground to me and I took my dad to see Woolsey Airport. The building was open and we went inside for a look around. There was a pilot's register there and my dad said I should look for his name. I thought he was kiding, but in fact he had landed there several years before while taking a pleasure ride. What a great experience for both of us. His name was Hamilton Morrison and he passed away about thirty years ago.
