To: Colleen Kane. This was my grandfathers business He also donated the funds for the Rachel Sovereign Memorial Home on Center Ave. Bay City, MI.
Otto Egbert Soverign daughter was dauther Hannah Sovereign Schust, and adopted daughter Evelyn and James Clifford Sovereign. James C Soverign married Roxanne Young Shearer. Her Father was Fred Shearer Ins. Sales and her Mother was Roxana Young Shearer. Roxana was the dauthter of William Young, Lumber Barron. Lot of history here, but all grandparents were deceased before I was born. Nice Article. Roxanna (Roxi)Sovereign Goik |

The book is extremely interesting. We received a copy when Gus bought Sovereign's boat "The Old Timer." wThat was our last craft before leaving Bay City for Grosse Pointe...way back when gas rose to a "high" of $.75/gallon. Thanks for the memories.

Dover Publications has a great paperback facsimile of an Aladdin catalog available.
http://store.doverpublications.com/048628591x.html It can help you spot them around town (a lot on the west side); I've spotted them in Ann Arbor too, the kits probably shipped downstate by rail. |
