Nice article, Dave. As with several other publications around the Country us siblings of Kim are not mentioned. It's as of he never had his two Sisters,Carol Stephanson of Vancouver,BC and Wendy Chapin Ford of Newburyport,MA who by the way has Authored her second book, Normalcy. Her first,"To get back home" was published a couple years ago. Kim's Brother, Robert Wendell Chapin lives in Midland.

Dave, Noble endeavor and excellent idea. I often thought that Delta never gave much credit to its numerous authors.
Remember Lou Doll who wrote histories of Ann Arbor, Pat Drury, Mike Herrig and the Sharphoters regiment in C. W. VanZandt recently wrote a novel about BC.
I have Judge Butterfield's old book FOUR CITIES, and he told me, and wrote it in the cover that Alpha is Kalamazoo, Beta is Jackson, Gama is Muskegon and Delta is BC. Once you read it, it is clear. No Saginaw. I used his typology in the conclusion of my Lumbertowns book, and the comparisons based on what happened a century ago are amazingly sound.
