mosher Says:       On May 23, 2011 at 10:07 AM Dave, I'd like to know the approximate date that Butch slept, dined, and/or drank in our town. Working backwards from his marriage, it seems some time in 1907? A date could be determined, and Bay City could commemorate it each year, gathering to watch the romanticized Paul Newman/Robt. Redford movie or something. And hoisting a glass: Here's to crime! ;-)

bob_goodwin Says:       On June 20, 2011 at 12:23 PM Sorry boys, William T. Phillips was not Butch Cassidy. Cassidy was never in Michigan. William T. Phillips was the illegitimate son of Celia Mudge of Sanilac County and "Laddie" Phillips. He ran away from home at age 14 and went West where he eventually became acquainted with Butch Cassidy. In later years while living in Spokane Washington he became a Cassidy impersonator. Several people in Wyoming mistook him for Cassidy, which he encouraged.

gesype Says:       On August 15, 2011 at 04:48 PM Oh please, I want it to be true that Butch Cassidy passed through Michigan and married a woman from Adrian! I am from a small town near Adrian and I would love to think that something marginally interesting happened there! It would be way cooler than commemorating various auto-related developments!
